My background is law. The citation is for the old Beavan reports
which the English Reports took over.

Peppercorne being the defendant - I was hoping the lawyer would be
listed (i.e. point you to archives). It seems not. It lists his
profession as a stockbroker, I don't know if there's specific archives
for this trade.
This was HL case, i.e. the highest court so it probably got reported
in a newspaper. Have you checked The Times?
