DescriptionPress agency cutting on the court case between Edward Linley Sambourne and George Simms, a reporter for 'The Sun' who had been in the news after he tried to summons the Duke of Cambridge for assault. Simms was angered by Sambourne's cartoon on the subject, believing himself to have been unfairly caricatured, and wrote a threatening letter to Sambourne, who took out a summons against him. Simms was bound over in his own recognisance in £100 to keep the peace for six months.
