Verdict set aside and new trial in court row ends in confusion
In December 1846 the Weekly Chronicle reports a retrial granted on surprise grounds after the prior verdict. Cockburn offers to marry the defendant to the plaintiff’s daughter, while Mr Watson’s side says no, and the judge’s remarks spark laughter and tension in a crowded Plymouth court. A juror notes potential bias, and the defendant withdraws from the case amid a stunned audience. An adjacent mystery on the Stacmpolt steamer and other court actions follow in this dense update.
