Statement of Facts, on the Injurious Treatment of J. Elsee, Esq.
Late Tenant of a Considerable Portion of Havering Park Farm, in the Forest of Hainault, in Certain Transactions with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and Their Agents; To Which Are Added Notes in Illustration of the Gross Abuses of the Forest Laws.
Transcribed from the 1826 Wooler edition by David Price
"Statement of Facts, on the Injurious Treatment of J. Elsee, Esq." by John Elsee is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This pamphlet serves as a grievance against the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and their agents, detailing the injustices faced by Elsee, a respected tenant farmer, as he navigates an unfair and hostile legal landscape regarding his lease of Havering Park Farm. It intends to highlight systemic corruption and bureaucratic abuse while seeking redress through memorials to Parliament. The opening of the text outlines a series of distressing events that led to significant financial and emotional suffering for Mr. Elsee. It begins with a general assertion that the upcoming narrative will expose alarming misconduct from officials entrusted with public duties. Mr. Elsee's story unfolds as he faces a lack of communication regarding lease renewals after the expiration of his contract, encounters with unhelpful surveyors, and injustices compounded by a burdensome lease agreement that ultimately traps him in a disastrous legal struggle against the crown. The text paints a vivid picture of the struggle between a determined but beleaguered individual and the faceless machinery of government, setting the stage for Elseeās quest for justice.
