Bankrupt Assignees Named in London Bill Brokers Case
In a crowded court in London the choice of assignees for Samuel Pox Stephens, a noted bill broker, was hotly contested. Edward Moxhay, Hyam Hyams, and Thomas Barnard were appointed amid large debts of 300000 to 400000, with little prospect of full realisation. Outlawry followed for Robert George Berkeley, tied to a Paris scandal, as Belgian creditors held bills and cash seized in Brussels.

Mixed Presbyterian Marriages Case Heard In Belfast
At the Antrim asizes, Mr Justice Perrin delivered two judgments on mixed Presbyterian marriages, outlining a path toward a final settlement. The trial of soldier George Millis for bigamy raised questions about the validity of earlier Presbyterian unions and Anglican marriages, with a plan to escalate to the House of Lords for a definitive ruling affecting Protestants Dissenters and Friends.
