Riots and legal actions in Yorkshire and London affairs
Historic reports from York show grand jury indictments against rioters who damaged Raygill mill works and flood-gate actions tied to a water-race. At Lancaster, John Cornall wins a damages verdict against Colonel Burgoyne after an 18 hour trial over Preston election injuries. Royal news from London notes the Queen’s improving health, noble appointments, and parliamentary scrutiny of the Durham-ward Embankment Bill.
