Lundrigan Appeal

Lundrigan Appeal
The harshness of Lundrigan's treatment at the hands of the Surrogate Court was taken up by reformers William Carson and Patrick Morris. The reform party supported Lundrigan's action against the Surrogates for trespass—false imprisonment of tying him to a flake and whipping him. Chief Justice Francis Forbes heard the case on November 8-9, 1820.
