Extracts describe Prussian seizure of Polish territories and duties at Dantzick harbour provoking alarm in Vienna and Stockholm. Reports also cover internal London politics including Guildhall scrutiny plans for Lord Mayor election, courtier Patriots split, and notes on Miss Wilkes and Nath baronet speculation.
Mr Wilkes thanks the livery for their unanimous free suffrages while denouncing a frivolous election scrutiny. He vows to defend liberty against the House of Commons and praises colleagues Bull and the sheriffs for firm conduct. The crowd erupts in applause as the speech ends.
A fragmented report from 1772 recounts a speech by Mr Bull affirming unity with a late colleague during sheriff tenure. It continues with extracts from the 1766 to 1767 Bengal proceedings, detailing Mahomed Reza Khan’s salary reform, officers’ salaries, and warnings about Mr Bolts and his Armenian agents amid Calcutta and Fort William committees. The document cites letters, Nabob communications, and calls for action against Bolts’s Gomattahs, concluding with a note that the narrative will continue.
A speaker thanks the recipient for approbation and pledges future readiness to aid welfare. The grateful citizens salute with loud cheers as Captain Allen’s speech and Sheriff Oliver’s reply are noted in the last postscript.
