Summary
Correcting his previous account of an assault allegedly made by a "Jew" upon local clergyman (Rev. Thomas) Paddon ("My mother repeated it to me and said a Jew had struck his horse. Whereas it was a Jehu or furious driver and a drunken who upset him and killed his steed."), and remarking on Charles Wodehouse's unkindness in carrying "the vote of censure to his heretical cousin."
