I've just gone through and cleaned up some of the language.

To injure or harm a Town Crier was seen as an act of treason against the ruling monarchy. This is how the term "don't shoot the messenger" came about

I've removed this, as I can't find any evidence for it. Shooting_the_messenger doesn't say anything similar

Also, this is all vey centred on Chester. Is there no information on town criers elsewhere in England (or other countries, for that matter? Danohuiginn 17:31, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
