Abstract of the King's Bench Opinion on Grenada Tax.
A summary of the 1763 to 1765 Grenada taxation dispute. Mansfield CJ analyzes whether conquest grants general legislative power or if a civil constitution established prior to 1763 restricts taxation without local assembly. He cites English law, colonial precedents, and officials Melville and Ward, concluding taxation needs local consent despite conquest.

Anecdote of Der Swift and Sembletus Club Bed Chase
An 18th century tale recounts Swift and the Sembletus Club members touring the countryside on foot. Swift, usually the butt of jokes, plans to secure the best bed at Lord B's house. Parnell raids ahead by horse to block him, claiming a pseudo smallpox danger, sending Swift to a summer-house field-bed where he endures a cold supper. Eventually Swift is spared from further pursuit and allowed to join the party.
