Excerpt from Authentic Report of the Most Important and Interesting Trial of Mathew V. Harty and Stokes: Before the Right Hon. the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury on Thursday, December 11, 1851 and the Following Days

Mr. Richard Armstrong opened the pleadings. The plaintiff was Mr. Henri William Mathew; the defendants were Dr. William Harty and Mr. Robert Stokes. The declaration contained three counts: The first for an assault and false imprisonment for a period of fifty-two days. The second was for an assault and false imprisonment in a more general form. The third count was for a common assault. The de fendant pleaded the general issue and also a special plea, viz., that on the 3lst of J annary, and forsixty days next following, the plaintiff was lunatic and of unsound mind, and in danger of doing injury to him self, and that it was necessary, for his protection and cure, he should be confined and put under medical treatment; and therefore for his pro tection and cure, and in order to his medical treatment, he was confined in Swift's Hospital, so long as was necessary for such medical treatment and cure, and no longer. To this the reply was de injurz'd.
