Trial in Westminster Hall Skimpetingan Case Mock Court Ruling
A Westminster Hall bench tale recounts a trial where Lord Chief Justice presides over David Meek versus Samuel Funlove and others. The plaintiff alleges scandal and damage to reputation from a procession called a Skimmentington before Meek’s door. Remarks by counsel joke about wives beating husbands and the judge jokes with the jury. The verdict finds for Meek as damages and notes the procession’s supposed benefit to the plaintiff.
