Police at Ascot show power of small force
At Ascot races a six-officer Bow Street presence curbed thieves, pickpockets, and “thimblemen” with swift arrests. Following orders against known offenders, as many as seven more were jailed, reducing incidents and pockets stolen as a noted receiver faced losses. A separate inquest in Clewer reported a man killed accidentally by a loaded gun while returning home with a friend.

Samuel Titlow writes in Norwich in June 1683 defending the Syderstone ghost controversy. He disputes exaggerated reports, recounts nocturnal noises and a scream, and suggests possible human or internal agency rather than supernatural causes. He urges a formal, police-led investigation to clear suspicions about the parsonage at Syderstone and compares to Epworth lore.

Moors show favorable grouse season with plentiful coveys
The Ayr Observer notes strong signs of grouse on the moors this season due to a late spring and subsequent dry warm weather. Early birds are few but coveys are full. A few summer showers would help chicks gain wing strength to migrate from dry nests to lochs and streams. Accidents report: a drunken Edinburgh Dalkeith stage passenger fell from a coach and fractured his right arm, then was treated at an apothecary and taken to the Royal Infirmary.
