' Smuggling Stories, Poachers, and the Dialect'
S. L. Bensusan
In this, the third and last of his talks on the Essex that has now almost disappeared, Mr. Bensusan will tell listeners of the bad old days when a ' copyhold ' cottage would be sold to farm-workers and then seized by the Lords of the Manor on the owner's death if his widow could not pay the legal fine; when the parson refused to allow Sunday cricket; and when low wages obliged the farm labourer to poach and steal.
He will also have much to say about the Essex dialect, smuggling tales, and the odd characters he has known.
