Judicial Resignations Debate Fails To Move Public Attention

It notes vacillation among judges, praises Sir James Graham’s rebuttal, and highlights parliamentary exchanges by O'Connell Wakley Roebuck and Fox Maule.

Milnes Advocates Mercy for Three Lancashire Workers
Religious legislation is cited as the cause of three poor men being fined and jailed by Lancashire magistrates under an old Law taxing absence from church on the Lord's Day. The men, reportedly drunk and riotous, faced punishment because the modern offence could not be collected from penniless offenders, an old principle that the King loses if there is nothing to seize.
