The Court Circular is weird. March 13, 2024. "At the Council, The King pricked the List of High Sheriffs for the Counties of England (other than Cornwall and those in the Duchy of Lancaster) and Wales." Pricked the List???

"The Rt Hon Penelope Mordaunt MP had an audience of The King before the Council."
An audience _of_ the King???
