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,
David,
Overcast England
