At Lewes assizes a juror trial heard two cases. The first involved a farmer plaintiff suing for the value of a horse he bought on trial after an accident with a gig. The defendant seller contended the horse was sound and gentle. The jury returned for the defendant after hours of testimony. The second case covered a bribery allegation tied to the Lewes election.
