Pressed coalheaver defies authorities amid shipyard dispute
A historic account describes a decreed pressed coalheaver forced toward private ends, facing threats from a gang and an alehouse keeper. The incident involved Lieutenant Reynolds and a hospital ship, with calls to identify the officer responsible. Sale notices at Lloyd's Coffee-House advertise ships and goods for public sale, including the Alexander and Amherst, alongside cargoes from Guadloupe and Jamaica rum. Brokers warn of catalogues and private contracts tied to these auctions.
