Westminster Weights and Measures Petition Demands Reform
At a Westminster meeting inhabitants agreed to petition Parliament to correct and reverify the imperial standard weights and measures. The public seeks abolition of the stamping system due to negligence by a blind inspector and a deputy who tests rarely, seizes faulty goods, and imposes fines.

New Poor Law Bill Sparks Aldersgate Vestry Clash
The Reformers of St. Botolph Aldersgate win a vestry clash over a memorial to oppose the new Poor Law proposal. Edward Portwine leads a motion to petition the Poor-law Commissioners to preserve parochial government amid age and poverty figures, while opponents warn of demoralization and misgovernment. A divided vote (26 to 8) rejects the motion and forms a seven-member committee to draft a memorial in the parish’s name.
