Statement and Review of a recent Decision of the Judge of Police in Edinburgh, authorising his Officers to make domiciliary visits in private to stop Dancing, etc. Edinb., 1807.

“This statement is by George Thomson, the correspondent of Burns
and the editor of his songs. The judge was a hot-headed blockhead
of the name of Tait, who first rode on the rigging of his
commission, till he spoiled the first police system, and then had
the good luck to get about £300 a year to give up his office.” H.
