Law Report Continued Reversal of London Exemption Judgment
The text describes a court discussion on a London exemption claim, arguing the judgment should be reversed. Judges note no investigation or argument in the Court of Common Pleas and criticize the proceeding as unhistoric. The majority agree the judgment ought to be reversed, citing principles of dazinum injuria and the far reaching scope of exemption for London citizens and corporations. The debate questions potential limits on municipal privileges and the use of antiquated legal actions to bar jury decisions.

The electors may appoint Gregoire, and Lyons parishes are to shrink to four, prompting fear for exiled clergy without charity support.
