"A True State of the Case of BosavernPenlez" is a pamphlet written by Henry Fielding regarding the case of Bosavern Penlez, who was executed for the late riot in the Strand. Fielding published it as a response to an anonymous pamphlet which constituted a criticism on Fielding's conduct, as he was the one to shed light on Penlez's second indictment. Fielding defended the way in which he had handled the case and this record provides an insight into the case in which the law regarding these offenses and the Statute of the Riot Act were fully considered.

First published in 1989, Henry Fielding is a biography presenting a fresh interpretation of Fielding’s life and thought. Using newly discovered information, including new facts, three hitherto unknown pictures of Fielding drawn from life, documents, manuscripts, and many crucially important and engrossing new letters, Martin C. Battestin – the foremost Fielding scholar – illuminates every aspect of Fielding’s life and work. Fielding and the life he led – in the West Country, at Eton, at the University of Leyden, and in the theatres and brothels, sponging houses and police courts of London – make for fascinating reading. This authoritative and timely biography will appeal to all those interested in the society and literature of eighteenth-century England.
