Opening of Easter term in Westminster amid changed hall setup
The Easter term opens with judges arriving after breakfast with the lord chancellor and entering Westminster. The hall is now enclosed for an exhibition of cartoons for the new Parliament, limiting access to officials and the public. Court rooms report crowded conditions and complaints about a low attic-like space used by the Vice-chancellor, while other courts note routine motions and a habeas corpus matter postponed to tomorrow.

Barristers Aim to Attend Doncaster Sessions Regularly
At the opening of the Doncaster sessions the recorder Sir Gregory Lewin disclosed a letter from two northern circuit barristers stating their plan to attend these sessions regularly with two others.

Abbotts cliff blast tests massive cliff tunneling effort
Engineers at Dover conducted a controlled blast on Abbotts cliff to Shape a tunnel aligned with the Abbotts cliff route for a mainline. About 100 barrels of powder were detonated in five chambers along two lines to create a stable platform for the Abbotts cliff tunnel and to ease the path toward the Shakespeare cliff section.
