Indecent Trials—Suppression

The Att.y General
to make a progress
to blot out indecencies
from the state as the Inquest Jury
do.—he and at the
head of the Society
for reform execution
of the proclamation
Lady M.
Alex:r Craden
the head of the
blue-stocking
club to rule out
what is most offensive
to Ladies.

Boys going the
rounds. Holy
Thursday with
wands.

Sir. A. & Lady
M. with strangers.
Queens & Princesses
wash poor
commons peoples
feet.

Legislation and
the exertions of
the executive
power ought to
go hand in hand
for laws the best
in the world but
the worst executed—
an old complement

Other Bills to propose
if this meets
with encouragement

1. For restraining the
exportation of sugar
plums.

2. For Spanish padlocks
for of both sexes.

3. For the encouragement
of costiveness.

4. For the suppression
of Tea-Gardens
and other places
where the sexes
may see one another.

5. For shutting up
t he Upper boxes in
play-houses.

6. For examining
women in the streets
to know whether they
are warded chaste or no:
shutting up the streets
being too strong a
measure.

Objection.

This a retreat
on the liberty
of the Press.

Answer Liberty
and Licentiousness
are opposites.
Whatever restrains
licentiousness, favours
liberty.

Ministers meet
with many things
that are disagreable
to them.—find
themselves wickedly
misrepresented of
their generous plans
defeated or impeded.
That prejudices
prevent this being salutary
work being
affected all at
once. That it
must be tried
by degrees—&
in instances where
it is least calculated
to excite
alarm.

Some like these
the causes of a
much-lamented
illness—never
can look at a
wall without
being alarmed by
with the prospect
of another Regency-Bill.

Some people think
that of any sins not sins
of incontinence but
best ,
an attempt to govern
people without
their consent
