Description

Folios 108-109. An unsigned letter to Mr [Joseph] Danvers beginning 'As your paper seems calculated not only to amuse but promote the [?] of Mankind in general I send you enclosed (which I beg you'll communicate to the public) an occurrence which has lately happened in some degree out of your province and more immediately demands the embellishment of simple truth, than perplexed explication of a political pen' namely Sir Thomas Abney's unauthorised variation of the daily allowance given by Act of Parliament to debtors in the Marshalsea. Partially damaged. [Sir Thomas was appointed Steward of the Court of the Marshalsea in 1736 and died in 1750].
