A brief artesian note directs readers to the printers in Windmill Street for the London Evening Post issue.
In Sept 1772 the city leaders thank the liverymen for support during a difficult Sheriffalty. They praise civil officers for enforcing laws without military aid and cite magistrates handling of the Femto murders. They urge Parliament to consider revising harsh penal laws and show intent to temper justice with mercy while upholding constitutional order.
In a London address, John Wilkes and Frederick Bull condemn the Parliament as hostile to rights while praising the people who defended the constitution during upheaval. They urge continued watchfulness, defend Common Hall rights, and call for elected magistrates of virtue, courage, and patriotism to uphold English liberty.
The London Gazette reports the Lords in Council proring Parliament to November 17. It also notes a 100 foot pillar with a night beacon at the fortification entrance to the port to guide ships, with pilots on duty day and night. Additional items include a baronetcy for Richard Sutton and dispatches about wrecked Spanish ships near Anguilla.
