Legal motions and old county court jurisdiction debate
In a Bank of England session, Petersdorff contests a rule on costs in a trespass case. The issue centers on whether a county court existed in Kingston district when the writ issued, with Bovill arguing extension of old county courts and Baron Platt insisting new acts created new county courts. The judge discharges the rule, holding no county court existed at that time and costs do not fall under the new act.
