It notes governance by the royal commissioners and how regulations may extend to the new park. Separately a labourer Thomas Carey was found dead in a pond near Coulsdon after a club feast, likely drowning or cramp, with a coroner's inquest pending.

Attempted suicide and domestic turmoil at Halfton Garden
A trushmaker Bullock was brought before a magistrate on a charge of attempted self murder after his daughter, aged 18, intervened in his plan to dye by hanging. He later bought laudanum and was prevented from drinking it. The magistrate ordered restraint via a relieving officer. A separate case involved a servant denying felonious intent after being found with shoes, with witnesses praising her honesty. Additional reports include a drunken assault charge against a co editor of the Medical Times, a street quarrel leading to separate investigations, and a weapon-threat incident at the Black Horse inn ending in peace bonds. The Thames division also holds a man for the Skibbereen murder, remanded to await Irish authorities.
