Ejectment on Title Frontier Prompts Assize Hearings
Discussion over revocation of a will codicil in the Hertford estate case leads to an assize ejectment fight. Richard Wallace claims absolute entitlement while Sir Hamilton Seymour relies on the original will, with Wallace reportedly in Paris and tenants warned against paying rent. Separately, a Paris Commune aid meeting contemplates extradition policy and public action. Holiday crowds swell London attractions as banks and offices observe closures.

Gleanings of a lively periodical note and local tales
A medley of curiosities from past papers mentions a July cat show at Crystal Palace, eleven women studying medicine in Edinburgh, and the first Illinois threshing machine still running. It cites a misquoted sermon, a retiring literary man, a 106 year old widow Harriet Clarke of Northwold, and undertakers in Derby with a hearse drawn by four black horses. Also noted are a misread “cotton port” mix up, Derby results telegraphed to Bombay, a plan for a new morning paper with 100000 pounds, and sighs over a prompt paying subscriber. The toast at an Irish society dinner humorously puns on Patrick O Rafferty. The Chinese temple in San Francisco is described as newly dedicated, with two bosses mentioned.
