Kinsley v Piggins (1630)
An ecclesiastical case in which Piggins was sued for defamation— for saying that Kinsley "did keep a man in his house to bugger". Subsequently, the Reverend Kinsley unsuccessfully tried to have the action he had brought dropped or, in the legal terminology of the times, prohibited. Kinsley, who has not yet been found in the database of Anglican clergy, presumably hoped to avoid even greater embarassment.

R v Piggen (1694)
Richard Piggen was sentenced to death in October 1694 along with Samuel Sherwin for counterfeiting and clipping money. They were residents of Crown Alley in Upper Moorfields, London. Constable Eudall of Shoreditch searched their home and detained them. The implements were produced in court. Presumably Richard was the same person as the highwayman who had been pardoned 15 years earlier at Derby (above), but there is no confirmation of this in the document. It may even be that this fact was not known to the Old Bailey judge.

Wright v Piggin (1828)
Piggin was ordered to pay damages in a property dispute, but not Wright's court costs, and Wright prevailed on appeal in this exchequer case.
Piggin (first name not given) had been found liable to pay less than 40 shillings in damages for breaking and entering Wright's house (location not stated) and seizing, taking, carrying away and converting to his own use Wright's goods at a time when a few hours had still to run in "a term for years". Presumably this meant that landlord Piggin had ejected tenant White from the property one day too early. Justice Alexander admitted at the appeal that he had thought the case "a most improper action" and had sought to deprive White of his costs. Justice Garrow said, "We must, however, abide by the law."

In an action of trespass to the freehold and for taking goods, defendant pleaded, 1st, not guilty; 2nd, accord and satisfaction. The jury found a general verdict for the plaintiff with damages under 40s., and the judge certified the amount of damages under the stat. 43 Eliz.c.6, s.2. On a rule to show cause why the plaintiff should not have his costs, notwithstanding the certificate--
Per Cur.-- It is a general rule, that, wherever a defendant in an action of trespass quare clausum fregit, pleads a special plea, the issue joined upon which is found for the plaintiff, he, the plaintiff, shall have full costs, although the damages may be under 40s., and the judge shall not have certified that the title came in question at the trial. And the plaintiff's right to costs in such a case will not be affected by or depend upon the nature or facts of the special plea; for although such plea should not make title to the land mentioned in the declaration, or even be such a one as to preclude the possibility of bringing the title into question thereon, as for instance, a disclaimer of title, that the trespasses were involuntary, and tender of amends, or a licenses, the plaintiff will still be entitled to full costs, if he obtain a verdict on that plea. The principle of these determinations is, that where the case is such that the judge who tries the cause cannot, in any view of it, grant a certificate, it is considered to be a case out of the statute.

Commentary:

The judgement is interpreted in different ways by three separate legal authors:
An objection having been made by a plaintiff, whose bill contained the usual suggestion that the defendant had dealt with the equity of redemption, that a discovery of subsequent incumbrances was necessary for the safety of the title by forclosure, leave was given to the defendant to produce an affadavit upon the subject. From: Fisher, William Richard; The law of mortgage and other securities upon property; 2nd ed. Vol. 1. London, 1868. 2 vols.
Also: As soon as the defendant has entered his appearance, and before filing his answer, a notice of motion may be given for the usual reference to the Master to take an account of principal, interest and costs, the same order will be made as if the cause had been regularly heard.

Piggin v Sills (1861)
An action in the High Court of Chancery concerning the administration of an estate in the Nottingham area: Frederick Piggin had sued Joseph Sills and others, the creditors of William Shaw, late of Stapleford, who had died in 1849. The defendants were ordered to prove their debts in 1862 (London Gazette) and the court ordered an auction of four pieces of land at Radford in 1864 (London Gazette). The two documents in the English National Archives are a set of receivers accounts and Master Chandler's papers on the case. The other extant documents refer to the chancery order for the sale of the property at Radford.

Collishaw v Jones (1862)
Stirtevant Piggin of Nottingham was among the defendants in this inheritance case before the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice.

Pedigree: Clarke, Kindness (D.1843)
Suit: Collishaw v Jones, Massey, Leaviss, Piggin, Redgate & Buttery
In PRO, Kew. www.nationalarchives.gov.uk
As far as can be established, the only official document extant is the pedigree sheet in a PRO document series: Pedigrees (Various Masters) (a series with Covering Dates 1852 - 1977 filed in connection with actions concerning the administration of wills and intestacies). The pedigree, sworn in 1862, only relates to the children of William Leaviss (-1852) and his wife Kindness Clarke (-1843), not to the Piggin family or the defendant Thomas Blatherwick Redgate. It is thus likely that Stirtevant Piggin was a minor beneficiary of a Leaviss will. The case was noticed in The Times on Friday, Jun 26, 1863, with a hearing that day in the Rolls Court, Chancery Lane.

Re William Piggin's estate, Swift v Smith (1881)
Litigation involving the estate of William Piggin of Hose (who was killed by lightning). The Court of Chancery first required creditors to file claims against the estate to the solicitors of the plaintiff, Hilda Jane Cox, in 1882. Five years later, in 1887, the Long Clawson land was sold by auction at Melton. For some reason, part of the proceeds must have been withheld, because more than 50 years later they were unclaimed. A 1933 notice in the London Gazette reads: Probate 234 and lists dormant funds in court (chancery) where the unclaimed amount was at least 50 pounds: "Proceeds of sale of real estate. Account opened in 1887, order of 1888-07-28, last transaction (payment out) 1913-02-20."

Quoted in:

London Gazette, 1882, 1887, 1933.

In re Piggin. Ex parte Mansfield Railway Company (1913)
A further case involving costs for a sale of land from the estate of William Piggin, who had died 1880-07-26. It is likely that the dormant funds in court in the 1881 case listed above derive from the same estate. W.P. had owned land in Nottinghamshire, Nottingham itself and Leicestershire. He evidently did not leave his property to relations but shared it between two ladies, Maria Smith and Hilda Jane Cox. The latter had two children. The two ladies appear to have still been alive as these trusteeship arrangements dragged on decades later. The Mansfield Railway Company bought some of the land in 1913, presumably for a line or station. The will had been dated April 8, 1879 and this report refers to court orders in 1881 (administration), 1883 (further consideration), 1906 (further trustees) and 1912 (trustees).

The court papers are filed at the English National Archives. In 2003, the Metropolitan Police correspondence was released: Office of the Commissioner: Correspondence and Papers, Special Series MEPO 3/371. Piggin was described as a "professional blackmailer" who had been paid more than £1400 during a 3-year period.

In re Toynton-Brown Co. (1944)
This Michigan case is the first of a series brought by Edward S. Piggins, the lawyer, following his 1943 appointment as receiver of the Toynton-Brown Company, a real-estate agency of Detroit. The first case was about the authority of arbitrators. In Fellinger v Wayne Circuit Judge, Fellinger failed to win an extension of time. In Piggins v Fellinger, the receiver managed to void a document, though Fellinger was allowed a greater rate of commission, and in Piggins v Marx, the receiver warded off another claim against funds of the company.
