Sanitary Reform and the London Sewerage Plan
In 1848 a series argues sewerage should be reused as fertiliser. London sewer effluent could yield half a million pounds yearly in valuable nutrients. The Metropolitan Sewage Manure Company plans to pipe diluted sewage to farms, boosting crop yields and potentially transforming the Thames from an improver to a purified tidal water, while noting risks and past financial struggles.

Damages sought by Bunn vy against Jenny Lind case at law
In an 1848 London trial at the court of Mr Justice Erle a jury heard plaintiff Mr Bunn seek £2500 against Mademoiselle Jenny Lind for breach of contract over her Drury Lane engagement. Evidence covered the 1845 Berlin-Meyerbeer contract, language issues, and Lind’s alleged reasons to defer or cancel.
