City Council Meeting Sets Laws On Finance and Fire Safety

A called City Council session approves a June ban on five dollar notes, allocates 5000 toward the Virginia State Agricultural Society endowment, increases wagon and cart licenses taxes, and adopts ordinances to curb minor access to engines, punish slave violations, and expand Night Watch. Also votes to publish hogs and dogs at large rule and to hire additional police power for enforcement.

Market Tales and Diamond Find Highlight Late May News

In Richmond area market gossip and legal notes clash as tensions flare among fishmongers and a quarrel over an insult leads to a mayoral intervention. A Manchester diamond discovery worth about four thousand dollars draws attention from miners and officials, while local notices cover art exhibitions, theater, and police cases. Street prices for flour, corn, meat, and other goods are listed alongside freight and material costs, reflecting a bustling mid spring market scene.
