King s Plates debated on horse racing and public welfare
In a long discourse the panel questions the public benefit of plate racing urging abolition. They argue racing breeds frauds and moral decline, with notes on bread prices and social impact. The text contrasts Jamaica and Hispaniola, mentions Potemkin, a proposed police plan, and calls to reform watchmen and legal oath practices. An English captain’s Canton coat pattern tale and Glasgow emigration talks follow, closing with Highland emigration funding and clan depredations.
