London Common Council Meets at Guildhall Posts Naval Art Monuments
A London Common Council session at Guildhall discussed a near finished historical picture honoring Admiral de Winter and Lord Nelson with portraits of officers. A design for a monument to naval victories was commissioned, and improvements for Temples Bar and Snow Hill were asked for from the House of Commons. Reports on redeeming land tax and felonious lands were approved, while measures to enforce orderly conduct passed by a large majority. The Duke of Dorset was removed as Lord Steward, and Sir Sidney Smith’s brother, Sir Spencer Smith, was noted as English ambassador at Constantinople. Charitable deeds included Scarce oxen given to the poor in Gloucestershire and proceeds from tonnage donations to Powis Castle.
