A Preventive of Robberies and Murders for Money
An essay argues lone old women hoarding cash invite robberies and murder. It tells of Mrs Warne's 187 last November break in at Ribchester by M Phail Woods Carr and Hartley and urges Post Office Savings Banks and cheques to reduce temptations and crime. The piece cites Devonshire clergy example and Lancashire statistics, urging banking as security and temperance as crime prevention.
