    3. Wow! Haven't times changed!! Intriguing reading the quoted laws, too! <<snip>> Saturday 17 Oct 1818 (p. 3, col. 5-6) SCOTLAND. His Majesty's Justices of the Peace on the Scottish Border, fined James M'LACHLAN, servant to Mr. George CHAMLEY, carrier, for travelling with his carts last Sunday evening, on the road betwixt Longtown and Langholm. It is greatly to be wished, that Magistrates in general would strictly enforce the law in regard to due observance of Sunday; for it must be obvious to every person, who considers the matter, that a disregard of this sacred day is one of the first steps towards the commission of the long and encreasing list of crimes that are so disgraceful to our country. * <<end>>
