An Especial Court Orders City Officers to curb Lord's Day Misconduct
The Mayet Barnam presides as the 74th day of February 1737 during King George II's reign. The General Quarter Session for London presents a sweeping order urging marshals constables and other officers to stop selling goods in public streets on Sundays. They condemn street vendors shoe shiners and lewd women, promising punishment for offenders and negligent officers. The court directs arrest of offenders and reports to the Lord Mayor or Justices of the Peace for punishment according to law. It calls on citizens to help expose violations and prevent future neglect by officials.
