Polich Report in Court over Fee Extortion Charge
In a Bexchamne court Edmund Duggins, clerk to a conveyancer, faced charge by solicitor Mr Greaves of enforcing payment of a fee by unlawful means. Witnesses described a locked door and coercive demand for a shilling, with later claims of a larger sum. The aldermen ruled the matter a simple assault, fining the defendant 40 shillings with a six‑month peace bond, then releasing him.

Remarkable Misstep in Trial Over Seduction and Paternity
In a trial before the Chief Baron a key witness misled the court by linking the defendant to her child, prompting the judge to prevent recalling the witness. The jury found for the defendant as to paternity, and a later rule on misdirection sought to challenge the action as a trespass by the master of a daughter. Legal debate followed on whether loss of service is needed for maintenance of such an action, with several barons weighing moral and legal implications.
