Wagering dispute in 1846 case under 18th Victoria act
The case before the learned judge concerned a bet reduced to writing in March 1846 between Varney and Isaacs over a horse race, with Hickman paying the stakes after the plaintiff countermanded. The judge ruled the wagering law void but allowed the plaintiff to proceed on certain points, discharging the rule. Separate sheriff court items followed, including a wife’s necessaries claim and a variety of county court actions in London on suits for gloves, goods, and rail overcharges. The summary notes disputes over deposits, charges, and notices, with mixed outcomes and a reserved judgment on the Great Western Railway overcharges.
