Wager Suit In Common Pleas Over Joanna Southcott Child
In a 1814 wager case in the Court of Common Pleas, Joanna Southcott is at issue as Mr Camprect argues the bet on the sex of her child, to be delivered before November 1. Lord Mansfield’s Da Costa rule cited, Chief Justice Gist halts the trial, urging limits on wagers and indecent inquiry. The dispute centers on whether the bet was legal and whether evidence supports the male child outcome.

Court records reveal Chief Justice and Lordship refusals to hear a case on whether an unmarried woman bore a child, citing harmful implications to her character.

The note lists surrounding births, marriages, and deaths in a Victorian era column.
