Court of King's Bench Annuity Case Involving Bentley and Berry
The report details a 1793 Brighton camp incident involving Mr Jam Ley and militia officers. A note to Colonel Cawthorne led to a negotiation for an annuity to cover Bentley's gambling debt. The scheme included Anderson, Morley, Hambley, and Grant, with drafts to pay the note and concerns raised about Berry’s knowledge and the annuity’s purpose. The court weighs setting aside the annuity due to gambling debts and Berry’s presumed awareness, amid claims of debts and payments, and questions whether the annuity should stand or be rescinded.
