Court of King Bench case on jewels of Prince of Wales
In a long hearing before Lord Chief Justice Walker, Mr. Erskine argues for Mr. Jeffreys a jeweller, defending the vast jewel loan to the Prince of Wales. He explains the jewels were furnished for the royal marriage with royal approval and that their value should reflect trade costs, not private debt. Witnesses estimate the jewels around 50,997 pounds, with added allowances for short notice and difficulties. The case, under Act of Parliament, may proceed to jury if needed.
