Abstract
In a single action Jonathan Shaw sued three J.P.’s for “unjustly and illegally” signing distress warrants resulting in his imprisonment for 10 days and claimed £600 in damages. He lost against all three defendants before three separate juries at three levels of proceedings ending in November 1764.
