Dyer, Capt. William Winder, Samuel |
Description |
Accusation of high treason in levying customs within the province of New York |

According to the APC, Dyer’s bond is ordered delivered to him; “he may take his remedy at Law against the said Winder in New York or else where he shall think fit.” Winder fails to appear. |
Notes |
Goebel and Naughton, Law Enforcement in Colonial New York, p.224, notes that since there was no final judgment in the Court of Assizes in New York, Dyer v Winder is not, strictly speaking, an appeal. He explains that “at a special Court of Assizes Dyer objected to the jurisdiction of the court, and after some debate it was decided to send the defendant to England, take the security of Winder to prosecute and refer the matter to the Privy Council. Dyer petitioned the Council and the matter was referred to the Lords Committee. In due course the case was dismissed as Winder did not appear to prosecute.” |
