Mistaken arrest of an 19th century seamstress falls afoul of
WP:ONEEVENT. No lasting impact.

Weak Delete Subject might be notable but am having difficulty finding RS sources to confirm it. I found
one here which I will add to the article. But I don't think it's enough to pass
WP:EVENT right now. Am open to reconsideration if better sources are found. -

Keep and try to improve. This was a high enough stakes series if events that Parliament became involved, and it's really multiple events (ie. first the prostitution trial, then the legislative investigation, them the perjury trial)

That's a plausible argument. There are plenty of one event figures we have articles for. It depends on what that one event was and what its impact was. But we still need sources. Right now there is only one very thin source. No
reliable sources = no notability = delete. See
WP:NRV. -

Keep. While the source found by
User:Ad Orientem is probably the most substantial reliable one easily found on a Google search, there are quite a few other reliable sources substantial enough for notability - for instance,
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4] and
[5]. The "Cass case", as it is often referred to, seems to have had a lot of coverage at the time (even if most of that has apparently never got online) and still attracts a lot of discussion - for instance, in relation to the
Pall Mall Gazette's press campaigns, the disparity between expected and actual police behaviour during the case, where and when "respectable" women might or might not go unaccompanied in London's West End at the time, the indirect effects it had on the early stages of the Jack the Ripper investigation, and so on.

Keep Changing my !vote based on additional sources found. This does sound like it was a big deal at the time and I think any modern case that got similar coverage would have its own article. Sufficient sources now exist for it to pass
