Dover and Ramsgate News: Smuggling, Graves End, and Hoisting
In May at Folkstone Dover and Ramsgate reports tell of a fatal drowning when a boat with five men sailed to pilot a loaded collier from Ramsgate to Sandwich Haven. Two men boarded, but a violent sea caused the boat to overturn. William Goodwin of Broad-stairs was drowned. Three others survived after clinging to the hull until rescue. The piece also notes a melee with smugglers near Petworth, where Supervisor Garrat was badly wounded, and a smuggling related pursuit from Deal ended with arrests. Extra letters from Chithefer and Bury report the Duke of Grafton in Suffolk training militia, and a tragic accident at Chatham where a child fell from Victory’s hold, fatally bruised.

The speaker calls attention to wounded hearts, frightened minds, and inevitable judgment before PORTIUS at a symbolic bar.
