However, in the 1783 case of "Ceglinski v. Orr", the English courts declined to suppress evidence obtained by illegal coercion. In the "Warickshall" case, evidence was gathered as a result of an involuntary confession, and the court held that the evidence (but not the confession itself) could be admitted. It is questionable whether the "Warickshall" rule became known in the United States before 1789 (when the U.S. Bill of Rights was written), and whether it applied to confessions obtained by both governmental and private parties. In any event, no decision by the Supreme Court of the United States has ever endorsed the "Warickshall" rule as a constitutional matter.
