Dramatic Trial Over Arrest by Bailiffs in 19th Century Case
A maid testified that a bailiff disguised as a labourer attempted to arrest the plaintiff on Saturday July 5 but did not seize him. The defendant Mathews denied knowledge of the arrest, while Rolleston urged jurors to doubt the plaintiff’s claims and accused the plaintiff of exaggeration and falsities. The case featured dramatic rhetoric, conflicting witness accounts, and questions about the legality and conduct of the bailiffs during the attempted arrest and subsequent actions.

In a Chancery originated case at the Court of King’s Bench, the will of Mrs Hannah Villars of Seymour Street London is challenged. The elderly benefactress left most of her estate to charities in Limerick and a large portion to Bindon Scott, with substantial bequests to a Presbyterian minister and the defendant.
