Presbyteries instructed to address libels and interdicts, while licensed preachers may serve vacant pulpits temporarily. The assembly dissolves with Edinburgh meeting on May 16, 1844.

A humorous sketch of Mrs Gardiner and her urban garden fantasies in No.9 Paradise Place, with vivid anecdotes of flowers, threats from neighborhood animals, and a sly portrait of London urban farming and social satire. The piece interweaves dialogue about roses, bulbs, and shrubbery with a nosy neighborly tone and comic local color.
