'The Post Boy'. Early and original one page, two sided newspaper for 5th to 7th October 1710, printed by L. Beardwell of Blackfriars. The majority of the paper is devoted to the case of David Polehill (1674-1754), M.P. for Kent in 1710, who stood accused of speaking ill of King Charles and of his 'horrid' murder. The gentlemen of Kent felt that Polehill was unsuitable to be their M.P. and was arrested and charged. One of the supporting documents is an affidavit, quoted on p2 col1, recording Polehill talking unfavourably about the King at a Cricket Match at Westerham in Kent. This early reference is not mentioned in Maun. The newspaper has binding holes to left edge, otherwise in very good condition for its age. A rare item - cricket
