In a November King’s Bench session the question of whether a villa made by Sir Thomas Cave was revoked by a subsequent marriage settlement was argued again. Lord Kenyon and Justices Asquith and Lawrence affirmed the Common Pleas judgment, holding revocation. The case is tied to estates of good standing. The second matter concerns bail: Mr Butler Danvers and a Rule to substitute common bail for special bail was discussed. The court discharged the Rule, noting waiver and ongoing procedural questions about affidavits and bank-note offers.
