Could somebody please rewrite?[edit]

Honestly, something is dead wrong with the article . The second sentence is utterly meaningless, and makes the actual crime (not the charge) of which Penlez was accused, as well as the nature of Fielding's involvement in the case impossible to understand. Somebody familiar with the matter please help fix that --Svartalf (talk) 20:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everybody.[edit]

I am a student at Cà Foscari University of Venice. This semester I am attending a History of English Culture course and as a part of the exam it is required the improvement of a Wikipedia article related to subjects faced during the course. I've been assigned to improve this article about Bosavern Penlez. I'll try and do my best to improve it.

Regarding the bibliography, I'll mainly use these sources:

Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 7.2, 15 October 2015), Ordinary of Newgate's Account, October 1749 (OA17491018).
Hitchcock Tim, Shoemaker Robert: "Tales from the hanging court", London, Bloomsbury Academic, 2006.
Henry Fielding, "A true state of the cause of Bosavern Penlez (1749) in "Enquiry into the Causes", ed. Zirker, pp 5-6.
Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 7.2, 18 October 2015), Ordinary of Newgate's Account, October 1749 (OA17491018).

Any suggestions/advice are obviously well accepted ! Thanks to anyone who will write me.

Name[edit]

What kind of name is "Bosavern Penlez" for an Englishman, son of an Anglican clergyman? Is this some contortion based on contemporary error? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.166.41 (talk) 02:17, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah- for anyone interested, it's a form of "Penlease", of Cornish origin: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=crDcDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA86&lpg=PA86&dq=Penlez+Penlease&source=bl&ots=470GibOiwW&sig=ACfU3U1C4KOtflGjUPGGxkDyyLWx59n5vQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjbqeuAy_n3AhVJecAKHXo_BI8Q6AF6BAgDEAM#v=onepage&q=Penlez%20Penlease&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.166.41 (talk) 02:22, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bosavern seems to be Cornish as well. 37.47.199.250 (talk) 23:31, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
