The Threatened Assassination of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
A Bow Street warrant was issued for John Dillon of 157 Strand on threats to take the Chancellor of the Exchequer's life. Dillon, a former Cork coast guard commander, sent letters claiming injustice over the Peru prize and warning of violence unless his claims were paid. The Times notes Dillon’s distress, public alarm at threats to officials, and questions the justice system handling of his case.

Fragmented meeting notes on 19th century reform issues in Hankow and London
Fragmentary OCR recounts a Mescte assembly in Hankow and a British meeting led by Sir Henry Arundel and others. It details debates over governance, charity funds, emoluments, and industrial distress. The text mentions Lord Lansdowne and Marquis of Grantham, with references to revenue, subscriptions, and public works.
