In a Chancery motion the Court of Chancery considers a writ of habeas corpus to free William Baines from Leicester county gaol over a debt of £2 5s and £125 costs tied to church rates. The case traces from the Arches Court's final decree and questions whether due process was followed absent the defendant, referencing the 53 Geo III statute.
