Unequal Land Taxes Across English Counties Cast Doubt on Fairness
A citizen analysis notes wide disparities in land tax per pound across counties from Middlesex to Sussex, with Bedford and Cumberland showing extreme rates. It argues that parish assessments, often based on partial values, inflate discrepancies and that urban parishes like St Paul and Marylebone show striking differences. The piece hints at reforms to move tax duties from Grand Juries to a central Board of Works, while recounting local anecdotes of misapplied rates and a humorous crime tale from Walpole.

The medical team could not determine the cause of death following an assault by a party of four and about fifteen youths returning from a dinner.

The jury could not determine a cause except death by the visitation of God and urged censure of Maslin and the party. A sum of 50l was offered to the widow and two children.
