Ejectment case over Cockerhouse Farm with birth dispute
Mid march assizes on the Midland circuit feature a verdict for John Day and Micah Day in an ejectment suit against Henry Day over Cockerhouse Farm. The trial pivots on claims of birth wedlock and an alleged will, with dramatic testimony about a stillborn child and later family arrangements. The March 25 session also covers a riot in Lord Harborough's park over a railroad survey and a Cambridge ferry dispute with a raft altercation.

Bankrupt Tresmr Stacey’s Certificate Refused After Losses
In a London bankruptcy court a warehouseman on Milk Street Cheapside faced objections over reckless trading. His dealings totaled £40,000 to £50,000, with assets of only £300 to £400. Debts reached £13,000 to £14,000. He opened with £400 borrowed capital, later unpaid, and goods bought in London Glasgow with third party advances. He suspended continental and Scottish orders. two criminal proceedings were threatened but abandoned. The commissioner held that lack of capital and disposals merited withholding the certificate for two years, with possible interim protection. Middlesex sessions opened at Hicks’s Hall Clerkenwell Green, listing eighty-nine prisoners, eighty-one for felony. A jailer, Joseph Sleigh, was indicted for stealing money and other property.
