Report of John Sargent on 1 individual petition (prisoner) and 1 collective petition (38 inhabitants of Shoreham, Sussex) on behalf of George Parker, tradesman and merchant, convicted at the [Chichester Quarter Sessions, Sussex] for the assault on 14 September 1824 of James Parsons, customs and excise officer.
