Wilson is a case in which the Superior Court of Judicature of New Hampshire used a state statute to reject a trespass action filed by Solomon Mayo against James Wilson and other selectmen and tithingmen, who had stopped and detained Mayo for “travelling unnecessarily on the Lord's day” (the law made exceptions for individuals traveling for reasons of necessity, going to worship, visiting the sick, or doing acts of charity).
