Debtor and Creditor law sparks widespread distress in trades
A lengthy critique cites London trades from butchers to chemists under twenty pounds debts, arguing the insolvency act harms small creditors, curtails trade, and erodes credit. It details dozens of merchants in Bishopsgate, Clerkenwell, and surrounding areas reporting reduced cash flow, unpaid small balances, and threats to livelihoods. A separate inquest at Shepherdess Cottage reports on Elizabeth Field's death, ruled natural, amid concerns of ill treatment and questionable medical care.
