Case and Complaint of Madam Horne against Spiritual Court proceedings, 1721

Source
10 February 1721

Complaint filed by Madam Horne against the Spiritual Court at Kirk Michell, contesting her treatment as a witness/defendant in an ecclesiastical case involving Archdeacon Horrobin and others. The document, extracted from the Exchequer-Book of 1722, was submitted to Lieutenant-Governor Shaw in 1792 as part of Commissioners of Inquiry proceedings. It illustrates jurisdictional disputes, the powers of spiritual courts, and due process concerns in early 18th-century Isle of Man governance.
