The French Revolution of 1848 reviewed in brief
A London review curates Percy B. St John’s eye witness account of three days in Paris, tracing the July 1848 upheaval, the Provisional Government, and public sentiment. It contrasts moderates, radicals, and Republicans, noting corruption, charter issues, and the sweeping popular movement ahead of a republic. It also critiques a separate Alpine camp narrative and fashion notes.

Latimer v. Exeter Libel Trial Opens in Crown Court
The Crown Court before Baron Platt heard Thomas Latimer editor of the Western Times charged with publishing a false libel against the Bishop of Exeter. The case traced the Bridgetown chapel dispute over endowment and consecration involving the Duke of Somerset, the bishop, and clerical incumbents with lengthy correspondence and a July 1516 Western Times article attacking the bishop. The jury later delivered a split verdict, upholding the libel on the first question but acquitting Latimer on the justification, effectively a verdict for the defendant on the case as a whole.
