The Dangerous Passage from Park Gate and Local Harshness
A report describes a ship named The Race Horse returning from Park Gate with about 106 passengers after a perilous passage, surrendering to the sea for 12 to 14 hours. It also notes large trade activity in Chester and Liver pool, high prices for bread and corn, and a proclamation to deter beggars, with severe fever deaths and a remedy claim for Dr Handcock's Universal Cordial.
