Court of Queen's Bench case over Burdett Coutts theatre box rating
The Queen v St Martin's in the Fields centers on whether Miss Angela Burdett Coutts' private theatre box constitutes a rateable hereditament under the 10 Geo. III act. The court noted the box was leased to Coutts with exclusive occupancy, while the theatre owners retained uniform rights to ornamentation. Judgment postponed as the issue hinges on whether the box falls under occupier, and if the rating should extend beyond the box to the larger theatre.

One tale features a man who could become a wolflike creature, while another claims a negro could become an alligator and devour people. Captain Beaver questioned him, and he claimed the ability.
