Obituaries and notices from the Guildhall and surrounding towns
A long list of mid 18th century notices records appointments and resignations at Guildhall and law courts, deaths of clergymen and notable figures, surging storms, fires in Spittle Fields, street robberies near Newington, and executions planned at Tyburn. It also reports a Georgia duel, a codlin tree flowering in Gloucester, and a September 8 1741 prorogation order from the Lords Justices.
