A Letter to Sir Richard Ford and the Other Police Magistrates Upon the Prevalancy of Gaming, and the Infamous Practices of Common Informers

"A Letter to Sir Richard Ford and the Other Police Magistrates" by Robert Holloway is a passionate argument that shines a light on the dark corners of 19th-century society. The book tackles widespread gambling and the crooked ways of people who snitch for money. It talks about how gambling ruins lives and families, drawing comparisons to similar problems in the olden days. The author points out that although there are laws against gambling, they're not doing their job very well, which lets dishonest people take advantage. He vividly illustrates how these so called informers twist the law to squeeze money out of people, begging the police to step up, be honest, and save the community from these injustices and keep the public from being hurt by these schemes.
