Police officer defends Christian preacher in Whitechapel

Sometime around 1674 the British flag became formally known as the ‘Union Jack’ when mounted on a warship and the ship was not in harbour. At the same time the British flag was referred to as the ‘Union flag’ on land. This rule was relaxed by the early nineteen century when the sailing term could be used when referring to the national flag everywhere.
I've used the large text because HWM should have gone to specsavers.
He guesses what the text actually says, and he's usually wrong.
