A historical letter defends Lord Mansfield and Lord Chief Justice Mawnsrngeup over Mr Eyre bail. The writer asserts the bail by Scottish-men, the lawfulness of the act, and accuses Junius of being a public incendiary and liar while praising English justice and national duty.
A reader dispute targets Junius for criticizing the Lord Chief Justice over bail in a London matter. The letter defends bail authority held by King's Bench judges, notes Eyre’s case and the Lord Mayor’s limited power, and argues bail should not be delayed by court interference.
A letter to the editor critiques an act to ban certain marriages and proposes extreme penalties for various union types. It ridicules punitive rules by listing absurd consequences for couples where age, wealth, or status diverge, using mocked enforcement and exaggerated sentences.
A speaker argues daily occurrences of unadvised marriages justify a new plan. He claims pains deter, clergy are barred from performing under threat of transportation, and a law in his proposal would greatly reduce the distress of thoughtless unions.

A sharp critique of the masque The Institution of the Garter at Drury Lane, denouncing its pandering to avarice, mocking its performers and staging.
