Passage to Australia
This week's Saturday Timewatch features a notice affixed to the bridge over the River Cerne in Charminster, Dorset.
I do not know the original date of the sign. However, the code at the bottom left is very specific as to when the relevant legislation was passed. The Malicious Injuries to Property (England) Act went through the parliament session commencing in the 7th year and becoming law in the 8th year of the reign of King George 4th i.e. 1827. This Act was the 30th of the year and the relevant section is Section 13.
