Tenant Farmers and Cobden Teach a New Renter Movement
The article argues that England's agricultural system, rooted in Squire ownership, harms tenant farmers who seek tenure and rent reforms. It highlights Cobden’s influence on tenant distrust and pushes for secure possession, a sliding scale of rents, and long leases. It cites Mr. James Brotherton’s speech endorsing tenure reforms and contrasts English corn rents with Scottish practices, urging tenant unity for change. The piece also notes related business and public notices, including free-trade meetings and local incidents.

Novel illustrated brief in patent case prompts ridicule
In Covent Garden a judge notes the novelty of an illustrated brief with pictures and drawings, aimed at trademark or patent pleas. The argument centers on whether such depictions can be struck from pleas while a rule to show cause is granted.
