Naples reports confirm the comet’s nucleus was distinctly seen.

Attack on girl ends in near fatal neck wounds
A young man accused of a crime fled his home and has not been heard from. At dusk on Tuesday, a girl walking toward her house was seized by an unknown assailant and stabbed in the neck with a sharp instrument, receiving three deep wounds. The weapon used was likely peculiar, and the blow narrowly avoided severing the carotid artery. Suspicion falls on a specific person, but no identification has been obtained.

Watchmakers oppose British Watch and Clock-making Company plan
A London petition from prominent watchmakers declares the proposed British Watch and Clock-making Company a monopoly aimed at oppression. It warns the industry’s division of labor sustains cost and quality, cautions against large factories, and urges embracing new power like Ingold’s machines to maintain English competitiveness. The letter to Henry Ward MP outlines labor impacts, policy, and the need for innovation.
