Keeble v. Hickeringill

Keeble v. Hickeringill is a court case from 1707. In this case, John Hickeringill was accused of stealing some cloth from Thomas Keeble. A jury found Hickeringill guilty and the judge ordered him to pay Keeble for the cloth he stole. This case set an important legal precedent. Before this, judges did not have to follow what a jury said. After this case, judges were required to obey the decisions of juries. This helped to protect people's rights and to make sure that justice was properly served.
