Atherton and other stockholders of the suspended Hillsborough bank upon the small bills issued by that institution, claiming that they were personally liable under the law. The actions were regarded as vexatious, and were held to be unfounded; and the costs, amounting in the aggregate to a very considerable sum, fell upon Shattuck. He was unable to discharge them, and, as the law then was, was committed to jail for non-payment. He obtained the liberty of the yard, which extended to the bounds of the town of Amherst, but for years was unable to go outside of them. It is said, however, that he made the most of his limited opportunities, and kept up his practice while thus nominally a prisoner." [Source: The Bench and Bar of New Hampshire; including biographical notices of ..., by Charles Henry Bell, 1894, page 634, GoogleBooks] Nathaniel Shattuck, Esq., Graduated at Dartmouth College in 1801, in the class with Daniel Webster; read law with Benjamin J. Gilbert of Hanover and Timothy Biglow of Groton, Mass., and was admitted to the Middlesex bar in 1804. He commenced practice in Milford in 1806. Prior to 1812 he removed to Amherst, where he remained until the summer of 1830, when he removed to Mason. He afterward removed to Brookline, where he remained in the practice of his professon until the failure of his eyesight, in 1844. His sight was partially restored by a surgical operation, but he did not resume practice. Later he became deranged, and died of an apoplectic attack at the Asylum for the Insane, in Concord, 1 September 1864 at the age of 90 years. His father was one of the 53 who fell with the meeting-house frame at Wilton 7 September 1773. [Secomb 915]
