Abstract:
“Our Court is still in Session. A number of highly important & interesting cases have been disposed of” including that of Pennick & Ream which resulted in four years of hard labor for Pennick and two years of imprisonment for Ream. Notes the differences in Pennick's and Ream's displays of mortification or regret. Describes a case involving a “supposed woman” who has been rumored to be a hermaphrodite who impregnated a young apprentice learning the arts of millinery. Provides an update on local politics, which he describes as “very dull at present” and mentions a Gubernatorial candidate attempting to get legislators drunk to make them more agreeable. Includes a quote attributed to Thomas Paine.
