Alf the story goes she also wanted all seafarers to wear a black arm band so people knew who they were. One of the versions I heard also was that some jolly jack had given her daughter a social disease. Cheers John Sabourn

Social diseases still exist but now it is known as parliament and there is no known cure for the disease inside.

hi shipmates, Many tales are told of judges across this country, who dont favour groups of people i.e gypsy, seaman , tramps , blacks, welsh and scots and many others but its a myth, they can only give what the law allows for that crime /misbehaviour thy cant hang you for carnal knowledge of they daughter, as much as they would like too.Today any judge would be kick off the bench for any of the above.

Very true, but they can apply the law in a maner which alows for a variance in the sentence, such as suspended or imprisonment if they decide the crime is hard enough.
