Edinburgh Police Praise and a Cadie Society Tale
A London visiting correspondent praises Edinburgh’s police system, noting the city guard led by the Provost and the Cadie thief-takers who know every stranger. He laments overall crime, defends mild penalties, and contrasts with Paris. He also recounts social encounters with Irish Sir James, Madame La Barone, and a German-born Barone de Casartene during a dinner on a May visit.
