AbstractHistoryArchive Description
An English country JP and magistrate is threatened with ruin by a usurer demanding repayment of a loan. He saves a thief from being remanded for trial without sufficient evidence - against the opinion of a fellow rival magistrate - and is rewarded by having his promissary note stolen from the moneylender's safe and destroyed by the thief. Includes revelation that his opponent is the principal behind the money-lender's business. (PB)
