Duchess of Chesterfield cheque case in June 1841 trial
Lord Chesterfield faced a breach of trust trial over a 300 pound cheque given to Page for Crockford's gambling transactions in June 1841. The defendant admitted the instrument but argued the plaintiff was not the rightful holder, citing lack of transfer, dubious consideration, and years of non presentation. The jury found for the defendant on the second plea.

A collage of mock political squabbles and satire on leading figures including Lord Stanley, George Bentinck, Disraeli, and Lord Lincoln as they debate who should head the Opposition.
