Aimed at public gossip and court notices in London
The column catalogs a flood of late 18th century London society items. It includes a court gift to Sir James Cockburn, charity bequests, a hospital estate agreement, marriages in St George the Martyr and Woolwich, deaths, irregularities with champignon dangers, robberies and assaults, a Malaga letter about anti-English sentiment, and naval dispatches detailing ships Speedwell and Grace, a Spanish wreck near Cape Corrientes, and a post-chaise robbery between Colnbrook and Windsor.
