Note
First line:
"Martha Mistake, you are found guilty by your own confession, and on the clearest possible evidence, of the murder of an infant, name unknown, in the Shifting Pool, in the village of Lovel, five and half years ago; and though the recommendation to mercy will be forwarded in due course, I can hold out no hope that the sentence I am about to pass on you will be commuted."
The author was born in Misterton, Somerset.
