... that Jane Cakebread's 277 court appearances for drunkedness was a cause of the Inebriates Act of 1898? Source: The ODNB says "Her case and that of hundreds of other women in a similar position, led to the Inebriates Act of 1898..."]
Overall: A very interesting hook, and very almost good to go. The hook is verified by ODNB source, but reference to the Inebriates Act 1898 only occurs in the article lead, not the body. I also inferred from the hook that only Cakebread's drunkedness led to the act, but the source and article show it was also down to others' drunkenness. Would a slight reword to clear this up be an improvement? MIDI (talk) 14:24, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
