Barker and Carrier Robbery and Local Frauds in 18th Century Times
A late 18th century notice details a Manchester Carrier stopping near Dunstable, pressured by a pistol-wielding robber who seized money, a watch, and demanded the horse with threat of fatal harm. Several suspects and victims are listed, including Richard Brabant and others charged with forgery and burglary. women harmed by deceitful suitors receive admonitions about outside appearances. Naval dispatches from Lifton describe ships and captains, prizes, and movements of British squadrons, with market quotes for stocks and bonds.
