Adultery and Crime in 1775 London Scene
A long excerpt discusses adultery as a civil injury with social and political consequences, noting Jewish law punishment, then shifts to crime reports. It recounts robberies, highwaymen, a murder trial at Old Bailey, sentencing, and executions. It also mentions the Lisbon Inquisition, royal matches, market prices for hay and hops, and local notices. The piece blends moral commentary with police and court outcomes, and includes advertisements for cosmetics and perfumery.
