Riot and trials over town disturbances and politics
In London a riot connected to city governance and shifts in power unfolds as crowds clash with authorities. Reports describe officers injured, the Artillery Company mobilized, and Lord Mayor actions amid diversions seeking to restore order. Debates surface between Wilkes supporters and officials, with comments on hops in beer and public meetings cited. Separate notes cover ship arrivals, promotions, weather, and local deaths.
