Impudent Harry Clitus and City Justice in Trouble
A reader rails at Harry Clitus for impudence toward a magistrate and defends the integrity of the city’s courts. The letter defends judges, laments attacks on magistrates, recalls Magna Carta era rights, and warns of public calumny. A tied incident reports a bread thief blinded as divine judgment, urging ministers to guide the penitent and teach the path of God's commands.
