1787
Mrs Alison Horn pursued John Reid, a cooper in Whitby, to reduce deeds executed in May 1779, alleging that they had been improperly framed and delivered without her knowledge or consent. Reid defended the validity of a deed subscribed by Horn, contending that it could not be reduced upon the sole testimony of Kilgour that he had not witnessed the subscription at the time of execution.AI-generated
