The public streets remain dirty with inches of mud in Westminster near new buildings in Piccadilly and Jermyn Street, while funeral practices of early Christians are contrasted with modern rites. A coroner’s inquest reports Rebecca Mage’s arsenic poisoning linked to her brother’s disappearance, judged Temporary Insanity, as public notices recount a large Irish Church discussion led by Rev. Mr. O Sullivan, highlighting poverty and debate on church revenues in the South of Ireland. The Cannons Exchange Liaison Association meeting attracted about 900 attendees with strong applause for Orator O Sullivan and remarks on royal documents regarding the church.
