(1838) [13] [8 C. & P. 616. ] In this case a person named Jolin Tliom, who called himself Sir William Courtenay, and was insane, collected a number of persons together in the neighbourhood of Canterbury, promising 32 COMPULSION. tliem plenty in tliis world and happiness hereafter, and asserted that he was above all earthly authority, and was the Sav...iour of the world. A warrant for his arrest was entrusted to a constable named John Meares, who went with his brother to effect the arrest. Thorn shot the brother and tried to stab John Meares. Then Thorn hacked Meares' brother with a sword, and the prisoners and two other persons, by the order of Thorn, afterwards took the deceased, who was still alive, and threw him into a dry ditch, where they left him. The Court held that any apprehension that Tyler and Price had of personal danger to themselves from Thom, w^as no ground of defence for continuing with him after he had declared his purpose of cutting down constables, the apprehension of p)ersonal danger not fm-nishing any excuse for assisting in doing any act which is illegal.
