Prices shifted for Caravan Mango Rat-trap Chapean Egeria while Phosphorous produced no gain due to lameness. A creditor deficit lingered with several accounts unsettled and a St Leger doubt.

Kingston Petty Sessions Hearings On Knife Attack
A man accused of stabbing William Leak with intent to murder faced final examination at Kingston Petty Sessions. The prosecutor’s recovery allowed new testimony about the assault, including observations of the prisoner’s conduct and a warning about life punishment.
