An Anecdote of Mr Morris and Political Ties
The piece recalls Mr Morris resigning as Secretary to the Bill of Rights amid speculation and press scrutiny. It recounts Morris defending Lord Baltimore in a pamphlet, the latter’s thanks and a courteous offer declined. It notes a related legal framework for jurisdiction and a King’s power to try cases beyond borders, then reports on statue committee drawings and 16 prisoners tried at the Old Bailey with eight transported, plus local marriages and notices from St James's Church and other occurrences.
