Protestant Alarm Over Romish Rise and Naval Woodlands Fight
A letter to the printer denounces growing papist influence and calls for enforcing laws against Jesuit proselytism. It complains about mackerel sellers enjoying a Sunday market indulgence, urges penalties for waste, and urges preservation of woodlands from stick-cutters. The piece also includes a petition by Thomas Carver, Kent, detailing efforts to curb oak and ash thefts threatening naval timber, with local support and a plan to employ Carver for the task.
