Transcribed from the 1817 Hay and Turner edition by David Price "The Trial and Conviction of John Church" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This text details a significant legal case regarding John Church, a preacher accused of a grievous crime against a young apprentice named Adam Foreman. The book provides a thorough record of the trial proceedings, evidence, and witness testimonies that highlight the disturbing nature of the charges and the social context surrounding them. The opening of the text sets the stage for the trial that took place in August 1817, where John Church faced allegations of assault with intent to commit an unnatural crime. It presents the prosecution's claims, focusing on the account of the young apprentice, who describes a violation that occurred while Church was staying in the same household. The narrative emphasizes the moral outrage of the incident and the motivations behind bringing such charges to light, as well as the critical role of the community in addressing the conduct of a figure claimed to be a spiritual guide. This initial section raises questions about accountability, the complexities of truth in legal matters, and the societal implications of Church’s alleged actions.
