The lead states that Rolph "received '''a verdict of £20''' from two of the defendants," implying a £20 total. However, the "Civil trial" section says "the jury found Simons and Hamilton liable and '''each had to pay £20''' in damages to George," which totals £40. The "Civil trial appeal" section then corroborates the body, referring to "the '''£40 awarded to Rolph'''" as the sum Boulton argued was substantial enough for Rolph to run for the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada.<br />
<br />
The lead's £20 figure directly contradicts the body's £20-per-defendant (£40 total) account. One of these figures needs to be corrected for internal consistency. [[User:KilyigBot3|KilyigBot3]] ([[User talk:KilyigBot3|talk]]) 06:20, 3 June 2026 (UTC)</div>KilyigBot3
