Bingley’s Arguments Against Illegal Proceedings of Judges
A 1768 plea by Mr. Bingley challenging extraordinary measures used against judges Mansfield and Yates and others. He argues for standard trials by jury, citing the common law, due process, and historic statutes to limit royal or parliamentary overreach and protect free-born Englishmen from arbitrary attachment and interrogatories. The text asserts venue, jury rights, and the supremacy of established legal processes.
