Name

George Christian

Biography

Son of Illiam Dhone. After his father's execution, George appealed to the Privy Council and sent coded letters to a contact at the Three Anchors tavern in Milk Street, London. Derby sent a man named Roper to the same tavern, pretending to carry messages from George, to find out who was helping the Christian family's appeal. George produced accounts showing the substantial accuracy of his father's stewardship of the sequestrated bishopric funds. The Privy Council eventually intervened — ordering restitution of the Christian estates, committing the Deemsters to King's Bench prison, and restoring Edward Christian to his judicial office.
