Vigorous Punishment Demands for False Informers in Britain
SATURDAY, June 25, 1737 letters urge strict enforcement of laws against false informers. The writer cites a case of a woman accused of bestiality with a dog based on a watchman’s information, arguing justice failed as the informer faced no punishment and the woman suffered public disgrace and imprisonment. The piece condemns officials for insufficient action and contemplates broader legal reforms. It also notes nobility planning a deputation to Petersburgh regarding Cottrir de Biron’s election to the Duke of Courland and Semigalla.
