Mines liability and sub contract damages affirmed verdict
A judge explains why liability for all damages in extensive mines should rest with the owner for the benefit he gains. The court upholds the verdict, noting the complexity of pursuing multiple sub contractors and the impracticality of suing numerous parties. The opinion cites authorities and favors the owner over sub contractors.

Savage butcher's duel ends in public astonishment
A Kendal neighbourhood resident visited a butcher’s stall and wagered eighteen pence worth of ale to eat a large bull beef cut. He demonstrated a fearsome appetite in front of spectators, later repeating a similar display by Germanizing firepower amid the crowd. A farmer, days earlier, supposedly swallowed a pound of beef as part of a separate wager, further inflaming the scene.
