Court Officials Admit They Had No Faith in Case Against Monels
Ex-District Attorney Sheppard and assistant Ker testify they doubted the Moneis indictment, pressed only as a precaution to present the case to a jury. They argue watchman Murphy misled them, and fault the lack of confidence and preparation surrounding the allegations.

Lace Exports to United States From Nottingham Fall Sharply
Secretary of State Frelinghuysen reports from Jasper Smith the US imports from Nottingham for the year ending September 30, 1883 totaled 8,381,570 dollars, down 1,592,078 from the prior year. Lace goods fell 2,087,912 while hosiery rose 131,572. overall exports reached levels only seen in 1881 and 1882. Nottingham's lace trade prosperity stems from US demand, though the market may be overstocked. US lace factories are being considered with machinery purchased in Nottingham. The decline in lace trade with the United States remains notable and its future impact uncertain.
