Commission Against Spiller at Old Bailey Case
A Rule to view cause why a Criminal Information should not be filed against Magistrate Mr Spiller for gross misconduct is discussed at the King’s Bench. Lord Kenyon warns magistrates against relying on clerks, notes evidence handling faults, and the court discharges the Rule but orders Spiller to pay costs. The argument centers on two examinations of felons, lost originals, and possible public justice failure.
