For those wishing to know: John Church (c1780-1826?) had been found guilty 
of sexual assault against Adam Foreman aged 18 in the 1817 trial, but 
sentencing took place some time later.  The publisher Hay and Turner 
therefore produced a pamphlet on the trial, and then brought this one out 
about the sentence: meaning everyone paid twice!  Church was sentenced to 
two years in jail, which he served.

All the best,
