News and Notes From A Turbulent Time
Postscript reports no further information on the French fleet, with Lagos Bay as the latest sighting, while Crook the missionary returns from the Marquesas as the Missionary Society awaits official word. A Commons push by Lord Belgrave and Wilberforce seeks to suppress Sunday newspapers as reform moves forward. Guadaloupe unrest is noted, plus naval appointments, Norwich election results, Alderman resignations, bread prices held, and a Meleager magazine explosion with two deaths. Highwaymen rob Sir Henry Every and Lord James Murray in separate incidents.
