The Attorney General vs Candy and Dean centers on an extent against Charles Candy and William Dean of Watling Street. The jury verdicts wavering over whether the seized books and stock belong to Candy and Co or Dean, with repeated attempts to reopen the case and a chaotic exchange ending without a clear allocation of ownership. A second writ questions Dean’s share and a separate inquiry on debts to the crown was abandoned.
