written in black ink on prison paper, a bifolium with the rules for prisoner correspondence on the front page, the two ruled internal pages for the content of the letter (written 'on the line only, and on no account to cross them'), the rear with the address of Popple's solicitor in Hull, folded for sending with the postmarks for both despatch and receipt on successive days, pp. [4], 4to, a little grubby to edges, some splitting at folds, in a couple of instances leading to small tears, but with no loss of text, good condition. An interesting document, sent from the Debtors' Prison at York Castle, where, before 1869, individuals could be imprisoned for commercial debt until it had been paid off the fate befalling Robert Popple, a Yorkshire oil merchant. The substance of Popple's letter is with regard to his outstanding debts, the extent of which in relation to individual claimants he specifies, but principally discusses his anxiety over the fate of his Mill asking his solicitor, Thomas Chester in Hull, to 'see Mr Wilson & ask him not to let the Mill pass out of his hands', explaining that various parts of the land might be let in order to provide security. Popple is adamant that prospects are good the Mill, he writes, 'would have left me over £200 this year with every prospect of more next year', keeping him 'respectably even during this American War' [i.e., the American Civil War], had it not been been for 'old debts which were pressing me down'. Of additional interest is the printed matter outlining the 'Rules for the Guidance of Prisoners and Their Friends': most refer to those incoming, requiring those corresponding with prisoners 'not to contain any irrelevant matter, as news of the day, [.] improper advice, [.] or unbecoming language', and of course restricts the sending of 'Clothes, or other articles'.

Disbound with spine reinforced using archival tape; moderate toning and foxing with a few minor chips to fore-edges. A good, complete copy. $250. * First and only edition. This 1762 Act of Parliament (2 Geo. 3 c. 38) played a crucial role in the economic life of Kingston upon Hull, one of Britain's most prominent maritime ports at the time. The legislation established a Court of Requests, offering a specialized and accessible forum for merchants, shipwrights, and small traders to resolve disputes over debts of 40 shillings or less, circumventing the high costs of common law courts. This was particularly vital in a port economy characterized by frequent low-value transactions, including bills of exchange and short-term trade credits. The Act not only facilitated commerce but also protected debtors by limiting recovery to the original debt amount, preventing excessive or punitive actions from creditors. This provision was a significant step toward more equitable debt recovery practices, particularly in a bustling maritime trade center like Hull. Printed by Mark Baskett, the King's Printer, this volume is a fine example of the high-quality typography produced by the Baskett Royal Printing House, with its authoritative layout reserved for government publications. This remains an important document for the study of 18th-century maritime commerce and provincial legal reform. English Short-Title Catalogue N56754.

London: Thomas Baskett, 1753 (illustrator). London: Thomas Baskett, 1753. 1753 Act for the Recovery of Small Debts in Boston and Skirbeck: A Landmark Provincial Legal Reform, Printed by Thomas Baskett [Great Britain]. [Debtors]. George II [1680-1760], King of Great Britain. [An Act for the More Easy and Speedy Recovery of Small Debts Within the Borough of Boston, And Skirbeck Quarter, And the Parishes of Boston and Skirbeck, In the County of Lincoln]. London: Printed by Thomas Baskett, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty; And by the Assigns of Robert Baskett, 1753. With a general title page beginning Anno Regni Georgii II. Regis Magnae Britanniae, Franciae, & Hiberniae. [ii], 199-212 pp. Folio (12" x 8"; 30.5 x 20.3 cm). Disbound, spine neatly reinforced with archival tape. Faint horizontal fold line, moderate toning, light foxing, and minor edgewear to title page. A sound, clean copy. $250. * First and only edition. This 1753 local Act of Parliament (26 Geo. II c.7) established a streamlined procedure for the recovery of small debts-generally under forty shillings-within the borough of Boston and the adjoining Skirbeck Quarter in Lincolnshire. Enacted during the reign of George II, the statute reflects the practical legal reforms that accompanied the expansion of England's provincial commercial economy in the mid-eighteenth century, when the expense and procedural complexity of the common law courts placed effective remedies beyond the reach of many tradesmen and householders. Like other contemporary "Small Debts" Acts, it authorized local justices of the peace to hear claims in a Court of Requests, providing a comparatively swift and economical forum for resolving minor financial disputes. By limiting recoverable awards to the amount of the debt itself, the Act curtailed excessive penalties and discouraged vexatious or punitive litigation. Such narrowly tailored, geographically specific legislation offers valuable insight into the development of accessible civil justice in provincial England and the evolution of summary debt procedures that anticipate the modern small-claims court. Printed by Thomas Baskett, the King's Printer, this Act is a characteristic example of mid-eighteenth-century parliamentary typography from the Royal Printing House. Local jurisdictional acts of this kind, limited in scope and distribution, are increasingly appreciated by collectors of.
