William Day of 55 Lincolns Inn Fields, Barrister at law, assignee of a legacy [£]1000, counterclaimed on the Jambou Vale estate in St Vincent: the compensation was paid into a Chancery suit. He was possibly but not certainly William Day (1797-1849) who has an entry in the ODNB as 'assistant poor law commissioner' that shows him as of Lincoln's Inn in the 1820s. However, the West Sussex Record Office shows an opinion by William Day of Lincoln's Inn Fields dated 1850.
