Literature

Jedwood Justice Putting an obnoxious person to death first, and trying him afterwards. This sort of justice was dealt to moss-troopers. Same as Jedburgh justice, Jeddart justice. We have also "Cupar justice" and "Abingdon law." Of the last we are told that Major-General Brown, in the Commonwealth, hanged a man first and tried him afterwards.
"Jedwood justice - hang in haste and try at leisure." - Scott: Fair Maid of Perth, chap. xxxii. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
