First Stone Laid for West India Dock Works at Dogs
A royal ceremony marked the laying of the West India Dock Company’s first stone at the London port works on July 25 1800. Dignitaries including the Lord High Chancellor the Earl of Loughborough Lord Hawkesbury and William Pitt attended with MPs and a large crowd.

Fraud and Deviation in 1799 Insurance and Bill Case
In a Lloyds era action the plaintiff seeks premium repayment after a policy on cargo destined for Amsterdam, claim for deviation from voyage. The jury finds no deviation but supports recovery of premium, while another case covers a bill of exchange drawn by Oddy and accepted then altered by the defendants, raising questions of acceptance and liability. Lord Kenyon weighs arguments on whether defendants’ defacement transfers liability and whether premium recovery is justified.
