Mystery of M'Naughton's Lodgings and Finances
The report details Naughton's sixteen weeks with widow Mrs Dutton at Poplarrow New Kentland, noting his quiet, restless mood, poverty visible in his wardrobe, and irregular returns from travels to France and Scotland. Despite appearing penniless, he held £750-£800 in a Glasgow bank, a contradiction that deepens the mystery surrounding his deadly crime and motive.

Income Tax Appeals at Marylebone Workhouse Decision
In Marylebone, the income tax board heard appeals over the workhouse assessment. The court ruled the workhouse itself was non assessable, but the building occupied by staff and the Duke of Portland ground rent yielded taxable interests totaling £139 annually. The Hammersmith vestry urged immediate petitions to Parliament to repeal the tax, while public notices urged vigorous action against taxation.
