Synopsis

This book examines the law of distress in the first decades of the 19th century- the last point before major statutory intervention on behalf of debtors. At this high point of unbridled landlord power, the text considers four issues:- popular attitudes to bailiffs and distraint n literature and art; - the main features and faults of the law at that time, - charges for distress and the introduction and impact of the Distress (Costs) Acts; and,- opposition and resistance to levies of distress, particularly those motivated by political or religious views, such as the Reform movement of the 1830s.
