March 1770 Juries reject Herman Husband's plea of duress in the lawyers' fee suits At the March 1770 superior court in Hillsborough, James Milner sued Husband for 50 pounds and Abner Nash for 325 pounds. Henderson says the juries found no duress but assessed only sixpence damages, and Milner moved in arrest of judgment. By Husband's own account the court would not let his witnesses be sworn and the jury gave both verdicts against him without leaving their seats. Judgments for the full sums followed, and when execution was levied on his land a crowd of his neighbors stopped the sale.
