"The Royal Gazette" was a weekly publication. In the ‘postscript’ there is a section, usually written from ‘Kingston’ but containing items from other parishes. It includes ‘Marine Intelligence,’ which lists departing and arriving passengers. There was a weekly listing of Marriages and Deaths. In 1793 there were news bulletins on the situation in France, reminding us of other events occurring in the world at that time. The Gazette also reported on events in the Courts, caveats, and other items of interest.
