This is fantastic! Would the family ever loan this pistol for an exhibition?

Another wonderful East End story, with Hadfield’s glorious poem.

Thank you again, dear Gentle Author

“Instead of being executed, he was committed to the Bethlehem hospital in Moorfields where he spent the next forty-one years writing poems to his pet squirrels.”

Are those poems extant? I’m sure they would be interesting reading.

Just finished watching the old TV series, Callan and wondering how much of this went on.
Thank you. Fascinating account and one that is all too real.
