After crashes near the reef, crew and passengers endured ten days of impassable travel, with only women and children receiving food. The wreck killed several, including Mrs Heather and Mrs Guy, and the ship valued between £20,000 and £30,000.

Change to Radical policy seals fate of Corn Laws
Wearied and noble exersions have forced conviction upon the Country. The Government and Whigs align to a radical change, leaving no room for future agitation.

Railways and Liabilities in Early Company Law Debates
A dense critique discusses common misunderstandings about railway schemes. It clarifies that deposits bind directors’ powers to dissolve, and that scrip transfers do not relieve original subscribers of calls. The piece examines legality of sales and transfers, noting potential covin, and urges caution for speculative investors facing dissolution risks.
Doubtful effect of allotment notices and deposits
The text argues that an allotment notice threatening forfeiture if deposits are not paid may be legally ineffective. It notes the possibility of the Directors enforcing forfeiture but suggests the notice would bind no one and amounts to a mere flourish. It concludes payments on allotments may be enforced, though the notice likely has no real force.

Legal Proceedings at Serjeant's Inn Hall
Four learned Civilians argued before judges at Serjeant's Inn Hall with Sir John Dodson and Dr. Phillimore for the Crown and Dr. Addams and Dr. Harding for the prisoners. The Times notes the arguments fill four columns, are highly technical, and no immediate decision has been issued. It is understood the Crown may be urged to pardon the prisoners, with further remarks deferred out of respect to the trial judge.
