Fraud and a Robin At Plymouth Printing Office
A report details a con where a stranger posed as a wealthy caller to obtain garments from a shop on Oxford Street then fled down stairs into a rear passage, eluding the officer and footman. The piece also recounts a robin visiting Haydens printers in Plymouth from 1786 to 1788, returning annually and growing in prominence at the office.
