Court and Fashion At Buckingham Palace Banquets and Plate Notes
A London Gazette style column reports Her Majesty's grand banquet at Buckingham Palace attended by the Prince of Tour and Taxis and foreign diplomats. It notes rumors of a rural candidate Mrs Williser for a royal attendant post, the new Chinese temple in the palace gardens, and a Windsor plate mising tale clarified as a small breakfast-service box moved from Windsor to Claremont and back. The piece also covers a Dublin entertainment at Portobello barracks where Lord De Grey and guests enjoyed theatrical performances and a lavish supper, followed by a transformed ballroom for dancing with a grand display including a French regiment staff trophy from Salamanca.

Paupers' clothes torn as two youths face vagrancy toil
At Union Hall Christchurch two youths John Davies and John Smith were charged with destroying their garments while in the workhouse. They said poverty forced them to roam for work and believed it was better to destroy clothes than to go out in tatters. The magistrate noted the harm but suggested Brixton detention to spur settlement and employment. Separate cases include a seven year old accused of stealing pork, a famished boy charged with bacon theft, and a gambler bust at St James's Street with the proprietor injured during escape. An inquest at Newgate recorded natural death for Thomas Russell, a Brighton builder, from consumption after conspiracy indictments.
