Chaos in Port and Commerce as News from Dublin and London
A fragmented 1729 broadside reports naval alarms and muttering plots in the Atlantic and Channel. It notes Sir Charles Wager and Sir George Martin in active service with a fire ship and hospital ship, while line-of-battle expectations stir in the Downs. Clerical frauds, smuggling, and a riot of druggists advertise remedies and quack cures in Dublin and London markets, with notices of bone-dry profits, counterfeit trades, and shop quarrels in the Bear and Mortar vicinity. The text also mentions a Phoenix voyage to Philadelphia and a call for passengers, plus detailed local shop disputes over measures and cheating allegations.
