Three Penal and Public Safety Notes From Warbleton to London
Reports from Warbleton Sussex note fines remitted for spirits traders while three French prisoners from Jersey await trial in France for the coast surveyor killing. An Enfield maid dies after a scalding accident from a kiss attempt, and Newgate sees injuries when a serpent firework causes cart accidents. Coroners probe Acton murder and Southwark death verdicts, with bail granted for George Hartley. Treasures and protections at Judge Trevor’s Grosvenor Square home reveal a planned burglary thwarted by an alert elderly woman, while other minor crimes and shipboard transport matters fill the week’s docket alongside market prices and military news.
