Disposition and affairs of the day amid political chatter
The section notes wit and disorder in high society as talk of the Earl of Chatham’s role is dismissed, mentions appointments such as Henry Wykes becoming principal of the corporation of cursitors in the High Court of Chancery, and reports on regimental reviews, foreign dignitaries arriving, and financial grants to Saltpetre works. It covers a bank breach at Limehouse, a violent street brawl at the Rotunda, trials at Old Bailey, transportation sentences, slave ships reaching South Carolina, a near-drowning near Greenwich, a mutinous incident near Hell, and ship mutiny off Holderness with captains’ clothing and cash recovered. It closes with deaths and weather notes and vessel arrivals.
