London Court of Common Council Discusses Police Bill and Tunnels
The Lord Mayor presided as the Court read and confirmed last minutes, considering a new Marine Police office by Wapping and a tonnage levy to fund expenses. Parliament was asked for leave to build a tunnel under the River from Gravesend to Tilbury Fort, Essex. A death and a council election were noted, with numerous mentions of naval and civic figures, philanthropy, and recent robberies in the city.
