The Queen V. Stonyer and Others, 1842
« on: Wednesday 01 May 24 23:26 BST (UK) »
A newspaper report in the Morning Herald of 20 Jan1842 refers to a court case of The Queen V. Stonyer and Others. I think the case is heard by the Queen's Bench. Where might I find a transcript of the hearing? The case appears to combine both libel and bankruptcy.  :D

Not sure if court transcripts are available, but this might be the same case?

Here's a portion of the actual letter. It's much too large for me to upload here.

The Staffordshire Gazette and County Standard.

If you don't have online newspaper access - send me a PM.
