The Whisperer No XVL cites royal justice for widows
A 1769 notice from Westminster records a citation echoing Philip of Macedon and recounts widows from Royal Navy officers petitioning for misused funds. It notes 27,000 pounds received on their account, far more than acknowledged, and underscores the need to pay one year’s nominal pension. The appeal laments destitution and invokes scripture to plead for relief.
