London City Commission Oath at Guildhall and Royal News
The London Commission of Lieutenancy opened at Guildhall with near a hundred commissioners taking the qualification oath. The Lord Mayor postponed civil officer nominations, hoping for more time. Reports include highway robberies near Twickenham, a fatal fire at Ratcliff-cross, and the Lord Mayor Sir R. Carr Glyn entering office amid tempered ceremonies and the Guildhall illumination. Also noted are Carignan prisoners, Nelson’s victory imagery, and a Swedish cartel voyage from Dover with 13 French officers.
