Spade Cultivation of Wheat Proposed to Boost UK Harvests
The article argues for replacing ploughing with spade cultivation to loosen subsoil and increase yields. It cites experiments and reports from 1844 to 1850 in Somersetshire Gloucestershire and Bristol Mansfield showing higher outputs, with two acres rivaling five under conventional methods. It links improved farming to reduced pauperism and unemployment, urging partial adoption and state support.

Right to vote for building society member in mortgage case
The case concerns Beamsi h Ed eugant v the Overseers of Stoke parish over whether a Coventry Building and Investment Society member with a mortgage can vote if annual payments exceed 40s. The revising barrister ruled the weekly 4s 6d payment reduced the annual value below 40s, striking the claimant from the voters list. The appellant argues the interest portion and overall equity keep his estate above 40s, warranting voting rights under historic and modern statutes.
