Show Notes

The Agricultural Reporter recorded the unusual case of four boys brought before a magistrate after allegedly bathing naked off Fontabelle, where residents complained they were visible from nearby homes. Conflicting testimony emerged over whether the boys were actually unclothed. One received a reprimand, two were fined, and the case against the fourth was dismissed, offering an intriguing glimpse into social standards and public decency laws in Barbados at the turn of the 20th century.
