[12]pp., 4to. Aged and worn pamphlet, with rusted staples. The title-page states that the cases are heard 'Before John William Willis Bund, Esq., Chairman, and Richard Holmden Amphlett, Esq., Vice-Chairman.'

The blank final page carries a long list of ships (Harington was an enthusiastic sailor), including the Cutty Sark ('woodsheathed | blk. SL:') and 'Maravilla iron bk. Spikebowsprit green painted | an ugly vessel', with crude caricature of a man's head in profile and '17th June next sessions'. Harington was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford.
