A London Evening Post piece argues that large sheep flocks force higher meat prices and harm the poor. It cites Heylin and a Henry VII statute, asserts cows yield more meat per acre, and explains why grazing land expansion drives mutton costs up. It notes tilage benefits and questions rising rents and estate upkeep.
Sir George Colebrooke leads a General Court at Leadenhall Street to discuss a proposed dividend. Director Manship protests referencing incomplete accounts and warns a 124 percent payout could incur a 400,000l debt to government. The court debates the cash and annual accounts and schedules a ballot for the next day to approve the last dividend.
The piece includes Franklin’s epitaph parodied by the printer of Bottom in New England and notes the marriage of James Robinson to Mackworth in Huntingdon. It reports inoculation progress at the Pancras Hospital and Small-Pox Hospitals, with patient counts and recoveries, and ends with shipping notices from Deal to various vessels including Pensacola and Jamaica.
The notice lists four volumes titled The Chirurgical Works of Peace Val Potts F R S Surgeon to St Bartholomew and includes pricing details. The items appear as catalog copy with publication notes and prices.
