Bolton distress and Mott attacks on Corn Laws in Bolton dispute
A lengthy critique targets Mr Mott and the Boltons Poor Law inquiry. It argues relief figures misstate incomes, cites ten case summaries from 300 examined, and denounces the minimum sustenance standard as ruinous. It links destitution to Corn Law policy and calls for reformed relief.

Wellington Dodges Paisley Distress Subscriptions
A London deputation from Paisley and Renfrewshire sought a meeting with the Duke of Wellington to present a subscription sheet and report on dire poverty among local workers. The duke declined, asserting no political office or power and noting other duties, while critics retort he shirks aid for the distressed and questions his public role.

Inquest on William Parker at St Sepulchre’s workhouse
An inquest at St Sepulchre’s workhouse Smithfield into the death of William Parker aged 52 found natural causes. Witnesses described exposed conditions in the Refuge where Parker slept on a single rug with cold rooms and broken windows. The coroner noted the harsh facility and lack of refreshment before Parker’s death. Another inquest at Feathers, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, on Mary Gorman found natural death amid family poverty and inadequate outdoor relief. A separate inquest at St Katharine's Dock concluded with an accidental death verdict for David Alexander, age 16, who fell between ships and died despite aid.

Damages awarded for criminal conversation in Sewell v Faamer
In Red Lion Square Sheriff’s Court a jury awarded Captain Thomas Sewell £2000 in damages after finding Faamer guilty of adulterous relations with Sewell’s wife, Margaret Sewell. Proceedings detailed Sewell’s Indian service, marriage in 1828, and the wife’s years of fidelity before years of infidelity and financial betrayals. Evidence included letters and testimonies from associates in Calcutta and London. The court emphasized compensation, not punishment, as the aim of damages in such cases.
