SCAGG.770.026
18-23 May 1770:14 (13/606)
[London, March 23]. Yesterday the right honourable the Lord
Mayor gave a most splendid entertainment at the Mansion
house to a very numerous though select number of persons of
both Houses of Parliament. Between 6 and 7 o'clock a
cavalcade of about fourteen coaches, preceded by a band of
musick with colours flying and about twenty-six persons on
horseback with blue cockades in their hats said to be
Middlesex freeholders from the Thatched house Tavern in St.
James Street came through Temple bar and marched on to dine
with the lord mayor at the Mansion house. . . . [25 lines]
It is certain this entertainment in point of grandeur,
elegance, and taste, was not inferior to the most superb
ever known in England.
