Man loses fortunest share and a robber scene at Peckham
A man who bought a lottery share near St Andrews Church in Hoxton fell on hard times and spent his money to buy another ticket, then vanished. Later a young man was robbed of a guinea near Peckham. A bridge collapse on St George's Fields left a traveler needing aid. An aged veteran, 107, born in 1635, lives in Middlesex and works as a tailor. A fatal coach accident occurs near Kentish Town on the way to Barnet races. Multiple marriages and deaths are announced, with notices of Mrs Willoughby and Mrs Cole. A humorous local election speech ends with a mayoral toast saga and mockery of printer pamphlets.
