1-8 Mar 1733:12 (1519)
London, Oct. 26 1732. On Monday the 9th instant the Society
of Ringers call'd City Youths, rung at St. Lawrence Jury by
Guildhall, a compleat peal of 5040 plain bob triples, which
was performed in three hours sixteen minutes.
On Tuesday last the same society rung at the same place a
compleat peal of 5264 bob-major, which was perform'd by
eight men, and completed in three hours three quarters; the
tenor, being 3200 weight, was rung by Mr. Oram, a silk dyer
in Coleman-street, who is about twenty years of age: and as
a testimony that they were not tired; after the same was
compleated, they rung a course (consisting of 84 changes) of
plain bob triples before they ceas'd. This was the longest
peal that ever was rung on those bells.
We hear that the city scholars intend to go for upwards of
7000 bob major at the same place.
