Binding broken after titlepage institutional ink and blind stamp on titlepage. Minor foxing. Good. An important case relating to the robbery of the Bank of Pennsylvania in 1798. Robbers entered the bank in early September 1798 during one of the periodic outbreaks of Yellow Fever in Philadelphia. Because no evidence of forcible entry was detected suspicion immediately fell on blacksmith Patrick Lyon a British mechanic who had fashioned various iron fittings for the bank building including the locks. He claimed to have been out of town with his son to avoid the fever when the robbery took place but he was nonetheless arrested and imprisoned. The case was a city sensation and the press took up Lyon's cause which eventually led to his being freed. <br> <br> This work reports the trial of the president of the bank a cashier one of the bank directors who was also an alderman of Philadelphia and a high constable who were all sued for damages by Lyon on the charge of false imprisonment. The officers of the bank were sentenced to pay Patrick Lyon $12000 for false and malicious prosecution without reasonable cause. Described as "Very Scarce" in the Brinley catalog.

George Francis Lyon one of Barrow's favorites had made a name for himself in the exploration of Africa before serving as commander of the HMS Hecla during William Edward Parry's second Arctic voyage. Thereafter in the spring of 1824 Lyon was given command of the sluggish and cranky HMS Griper with orders to winter in Repulse Bay in northwest Hudson Bay and then cross Melville Peninsula to explore the northern coast of mainland America. Ice conditions were difficult however and he was unable to even reach Repulse Bay and had to return home that same Fall. He was never given another naval command. John Murray hardcover
