A Correct Account of the Horrible Occurrence Which Took Place at a Public-House in St. James's Market
In Which It Was Discovered That the Right Rev. Father in God the Bishop of Clogher, Lately Transferred From the Bishopric of Ferns, Was a Principal Actor With a Common Soldier! To the Disgrace Not Only of the Cloth, to Which He Was Attached, and as a Commissioner of the Board of Education, and a Dictator of Public Morals, but as a Member of That Nation Which Gave Him Birth!
Transcribed from the [1822] J. L. Marks edition by David Price
"A Correct Account of the Horrible Occurrence Which Took Place at a Public-Houseā¦" is a detailed pamphlet likely written in the early 19th century, reflecting the tone and style of literature during that period. This book is a historical account that recounts a scandal involving the Right Reverend Percy Jocelyn, Bishop of Clogher, who was implicated in a compromising situation with a common soldier at a public house. The text aims to expose moral failings among those in positions of authority, particularly within the church, while critiquing the societal tendency to hide such scandals. The narrative outlines a shocking incident that occurred in the streets of London, where the Bishop was discovered in a scandalous act with a soldier, leading to a public uproar and a trial. Witnesses observed the event, and despite the Bishop's temporary release on bail, the episode raised questions about the integrity of the church and the media's handling of such incidents. The tale highlights the discrepancy in treatment between individuals of high status and those from lower classes, suggesting a biased legal system and a corrupt press eager to protect the powerful. Overall, the pamphlet serves as a moral indictment of hypocrisy, urging readers to reflect on the implications of such conduct not only for those directly involved but for society as a whole.

Reading ease score: 59.6 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
