The Lost Leader and a Donnybrook Fair Scene
A long extract blends lampooned poetry with a vivid Donnybrook fair riot. It recounts a crowd frenzy at a Stepney fair, a brawl among patrons, the collapse of tents, and the abrupt collapse of order as tables, cups, and furnishings are toppled in a chaotic mêlée.

Provisional Committeemen Case Over Deposits in Rail Scheme
An assumpsit action against Andrew Spottiswoode, a provisional committee member of the Direct Birmingham Oxford Reading and Brighton Railway, seeks £78 15s deposits paid on 30 shares. Trial records discuss if the letter of allotment and deposits created a contract to deliver scrip, and whether deposits can be recovered where the scheme aborted. The court weighs whether the promoters may spend deposits on preliminary expenses and whether the company’s provisional status ends the contract.
