Trial over forged Exchequer bills shows government liability

In a crowded Court of Exchequer case before Lord Abinger, the Bank of England seeks £8,000 from stock broker Beaumont Smith tied to forged Exchequer bills. Evidence details how eight spurious bills circulated, with testimony from Lord Monteagle and officials on paper, engravings, signatures, and custody. The jury, agreeing with the attorney general, returns verdict for the Bank, holding government not liable beyond merchant risk per the judge’s guidance.

Earthquake in Cornwall and political petitions in Marylebone

A violent earthquake shock was felt across Falmouth and Cornwall with a loud report and rumbling. In Marylebone Tory MPs push a four hundred clause bill to reduce vestry payers’ rights, urging ward division and ballot abolishment. A tragic inquest at St Pancras heard Robert Turner, a 51 year old gold-beater, may have killed himself amid jealousy. Trade reports from Leeds and Manchester warn the corn crisis deepens, with wool sales stagnant and cloth prices tumbling. The Faculty fallacies debate garners praise and satire, amid a French edition’s arrival and wider medical controversy.
