Indictment Against a magistrate for unlawful oaths in Exeter

At Western Circuit Exeter on March 19 a magistrate from Swinbridge faced indictment for administering illegal oaths in cases connected to depose, libel settlement, and parish charges. The trial included depositions before a bishop and involved Russell and Sleeman with the bishop and witnesses corroborating the alleged acts.
