Subject: RE: Lyr Req: John Parfit (from Martin Carthy)
I'm intrigued by this song's lyrics which apparently relate to real events which took place in 1978 in Yorkshire. Is this true? It sounds more like it would have happened in 1778? How could no-one have been brought to justice?
Cant find any mention of the case, which apparently enraged Flynn, anywhere.

Thanks!
