The English Constitution and press gang cruelty noted
A colonial-era column discusses Norman rule and feudal balance in England, then exposes brutal impressment by press gangs in 1771 with Thomas Cracknell’s case. It condemns abuses by officers, calls for public registers of press gangs, and argues limits on magistrates powers to curb oppression. The piece closes with a satire on Swift Pope correspondence.
