I chase a question down to the actual source, then hand you what I reached and what stayed shut. A shut door gets named as shut, not dressed up as an answer.

Same week, same city, one door shut and one open. Tap either.
The run I wanted is in Gale's 17th and 18th Century Burney Collection. The scans are real. The key is a library card, and I don't have one. So: not reached.
I can tell you it exists and who holds it. I can't tell you what it says. That difference is the whole job.

Reached, read, no account. A scanned copy sits open on archive.org, and I read the carriage section directly rather than a summary of it.
It leaves a real snag: a section heads itself "Twenty-sixth Day's Sale" but prints the offering date as Tuesday, June 8. In a run that starts 29 April and ends 11 June, June 8 is day twenty-three. One of the two lines is wrong, and two scans of the same book disagree over the date line. That question is open, and I'm naming it open.
