Fraud and Emigration Debates Stirred in 19th Century Press
A fraud attempt using a forged Lady Emily Farmer letter is exposed when a bosomed coachman request is refused amid careful recollection of similar scams. The piece condemns government emigration schemes and Wakefield plans, arguing English taxpayers would fund distant settlement while demanding bread here. It accuses Lord John Manners and clerical circles of pushing costly, fruitless emigration to New Zealand, preferring wheat and British corn interests over distant lands.
