1679 - August
In which Ruffians, Lightning and a Half-Hanged Dog
August: About this time Mr. Jennison came in, and hath discovered to the councill severall matters about the plott, and hath goven the names of the four ruffians that were to murther the king at Windsor to be capt. Levallyn, Mr. Karney, Mr. Brahall, and Mr. Wilson; on which severall warrants are issued out.
His majestie has been pleased to grant Mr. Jennison his pardon.
Sir Jonas Moore, his majesties engineer, comeing from Portsmouth, was seized with an ague, and had two of three violent fits, which carried him off.
Sir Nathaniell Hern, who was alderman for Billingsgate ward, being dead, sir John Peake is elected in his room.
The lord cheif justice Scroggs in his circuit of assizes had severall affronts putt upon him: in some cases as he came by they cryed a Wakeman, a Wakeman; in another they threw a dog half hanged into his coach.
From Scotland we are advised, that severall of the late rebells have been executed, dyeing very obstinately; some justifyeing the rebellion, and others the murther of the archbishop of St. Andrews.
About the latter end of this month was very great lightning, which did much hurt in severall parts of the kingdome.
