18-27 Mar 1746:12 (1368)
London, November 14. . . By a private letter from Berwick we
learn, that a man meanly habited, was relieved by the mayor
some time since, under the pretence of being wounded in the
King's service in Scotland. He said he was going to visit
his friends in London; but being seen there about 18 days
after, he was taken up on suspicion, when two letter
directed to the Chevalier were found upon him, in answer to
two letter he had brought to London; whereupon he was
committed to prison.
After the treasonable papers were burnt at the Exchange on
Tuesday, the populace carried the effigy of the Pretender,
hanging on a gibbet, thro' the city, attended by six
butchers with their mock-musick.
