Narrative of Lord S and Miller damages case 1774

A detailed account from Fleet Prison in March 1774 outlines Mr Miller of the London Evening Post pursuing damages against Lord S. The exchange covers remittance proposals, solicitor interventions, and demands for payment of 500l plus 450l costs, with bonds, six months extensions, and a final stance that led to Capias and claims of unjust treatment and public disclosure. The document traces letters, negotiations, and the motives behind demanding full restitution and the societal impact on Miller’s family.
