The Rod in Pickle, by T. Latham 58018 [Subtitle: or, an answer to the appeal of John Church] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/0/1/58018 ] [Files: 58018-0.txt; 58018-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this is account by the Rev. Thomas Latham, a minister who took over the church at Banbury, after John Church (c1780-1826?) had been forced out of town after allegations came to light of him sleeping with and molesting boys in the houses of his church members. Latham clearly walked into an explosive situation (there were riots) without knowing anything of what had happened before. His account is simple and straightforward, and would be used by the publisher, Hay and Turner, in their repeated more explicit pamphlets against John Church. 1817 was the year when John Church eventually stood trial (and was convicted) of molesting a young man in London, and this was probably published around that time.
