Rewards for highwaymen and a 1800 lottery scam
The notice proclaims a two hundred pound reward for apprehending robbers who seized a letter carrier near London and Roathlale, with pardon and royal favor for informers and discoverers. It also touts a Cornhill to Exeter lottery drawing beginning March 1805, detailing prizes, tickets, and dates, followed by an auction notice offering a farm near Alresford with 428 acres and a separate dwelling, with particulars to solicitors in Alton and Alresford.
