Dover piracy and murder ring shocks Dover coast

A Dover discovery reveals a piracy and murder ring led by Edgeley the captain, with twenty men involved. Bodies and loot stretch along the coast to Land's End, plus a Birmingham coinage for counterfeit dollars. The Dover magistrates and Admiralty face a widening case with many reputed locals implicated. A bank robbery in Bermondsey Street and executions at Kennington Common add to a day of violent crime and political tension.
