1823 Suicide Act (General)
I have found the inquest entries fascinating & give a reflection of the atitudes of the time. The number of children who burned to death is horrible but the parents do not seem to be held responsible, an idea we would find outrageous today. Many thanks to the people envolved in the transcription project
