Robbery notices and election disputes from early 18th century England
A fragmentary 1725 notice details rewards for apprehension of highwaymen who robbed mails, offering 200 pounds per offender and pardons for informants. It also reports a Bristol and Bath mail raid near Langley Brom and promises rewards for capture or discovery of accomplices. A later section refutes false election scrutiny figures for the city, listing candidates and vote tallies, with commentary on the integrity of the poll and references to parliamentary figures and local names.
