[edit] Removed sections during edits
During my edit recently, I removed the following block of text. They are included here incase someone wants to replace it.
From Fry's prison work:
- Two women, Charlotte Newman and Mary Ann James, were sentenced to death for forgery in 1818. Fry tried unsuccessfully to get a reprieve for them. A month later she and Gurney visited the Home Secretary, Lord Sidmouth, to plead the case of a prisoner named Harriet Skelton. Apparently, Skelton had been pressured by her husband into passing forged bank notes. Lord Sidmouth was unsympathetic.
