Judge Wilkinson’s Charge on White Capping Courts Reform
The judge’s incisive charge against white capping aims to inspire duty and restore order. The grand jury, purged of corruption, will thoroughly investigate crimes while citizens and former conspirators assist to uncover all guilty parties. Judge Wilkinson plans a four week term focused on criminal business to vindicate law and justice and encourage many to confess and seek mercy.

Mis pastpet tale and a cross of honor in France
A humorous tale recounted by Private John Allen describes an old-time politician who, while canvassing a southern district, met a door with fourteen children and a good looking woman. He asked to kiss the children, then sought permission to tell her husband the candidate called, only to learn it was an orphan asylum. The piece then notes France awarding the Cross of the Legion of Honor to Sisters Augustine and Juliette of Euavity for long service to the sick and wounded, with a military hospital focus and a final mention of tomphos and Meeree.
