Philadelphia: Printed by Z. Poulson, Jun., 1801 octavo, 24 page pamphlet, removed from bound volume, scattered light foxing to text, else a very good copy. The trial of Vanhorne's Lessee versus Dorrance, involved the conflicting land claims of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. After a trial of fifteen days the judge delivered the above charge relative to these conflicting claims. The verdict was for the plaintiff, Pennsylvania, on the basis of the Penn charter, certain Indian treaties, leases to Van Horne and the Penn's etc., the disputed lands were assigned to Pennsylvania. The Charge highly concerns every one interested in such disputes as it involves important questions of constitutional law. Cornelius Vanhorne, a Pennsylvania lessee, brought suit against John Dorrance at the April term of 1795, in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Pennsylvania, at which the jury, under charge of the court, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff. An appeal was at once taken to the supreme court of the United States, but owing to an informality in the notice, a non pros was entered. Neither party considered this suit as deciding the question in controversy. Several other cases involving the same questions were then pending, but for some reason none of them were brought to an issue. At various times the respective parties agreed to make up a case which should be submitted to the courts, but always failed to agree on the details, and so the matter ended. American Imprints 1474, four locations, see Evans 30962, for the very rare edition of 1796. The 1801 edition notes continuances and other motions on this case until finally resolved in 1799. . more information

"A Landmark case in New Jersey riparian and tidewater jurisprudence as well as American wildlife and public trust law (Lund 1980), even though it was more often ignored than followed (Jaffee 1971, 1974)…" "One day in 1818 Benjamin Mundy led a fleet of oyster skiffs on the Raritan River. Their destination was a spot marked by some slender willow twigs not far from the riverbank in Amboy Township. This was an area of once spectacular and still, at that time impressive shellfishing, especially for oysters…Mundy and his gang used their long-handled scissorlike oyster tongs to takeup this succulent, prized shellfish, but not for market. Their intent…was to "try the right," to take a contested matter to court. Robert Arnold, the farmer who had put up the twigs and (he claimed) planted the oysters that Mundy and the others tonged, was also eager to try the right. This was one among many instances of trying the right, a tactic somewhere between nefarious lawbreaking and civil disobedience that had the intent or consequence of bringing hotly contested matters to court, where, the contestants hoped and expected their problems would be resolved… Benjamin Mundy took the oysters in 1818 not as a lonely pirate but as the leader of a "fleet of skiffs." This was a social action, intended not to grab a few oysters, but to get the attention of the courts. The Woodbridge Men [Mundy & Co.] claimed that they took the oysters "merely with a view of trying the plaintiff's pretended right, and not with a view of injuring the bed or taking the oysters further than was necessary for the purpose…Arnold sued Mundy at a special Middlesex Court County Circuit in December 1819. Mundy pleaded not guilty. His defense was based on the argument that the site was a public navigable river, where oysters naturally grow, and that "all citizens of the state had a common right to take the oysters therein" (Arnold v. Mundy 18212)… The court cases that ensued from the Mundy/Arnold confrontation led to the first major articulation of the public trust doctrine in America: not only do people have common rights of fishing and navigation on tidal and navigable waters, but the state, acting as trustee for the people, owns the tide-washed and submerged lands." - McCay, Oyster Wars and the Public Trust; Property, Law, and Ecology in New Jersey History." Pp. 45-57 The above legal manuscript highlights the notes and arguments of Mundy's defense counsel G. Wood and J. W. Scott. By skillfully calling for a "nonsuit," and declining the judge's verdict for damages, Mundy's defense lawyers were able to request the opinion of the court and move the case forward to its historic conclusion. . more information

"Dear Judge, I did not answer your letter of 26 Feby. Last, as from inquiry of our Clerk, I found there was no occasion - he having communicated with counsel, and the case not being reached before our recess. I write now, simply to excuse my seeming inattention. Your opinion in the case of Meyer v. Johnston attracted a good deal of attention from our judges, and its exhaustive examination of the cases was of great use to us. We had the Alabama and Chattanooga case before us on appeal, and I send you a copy of the opinion. It touches, towards the close, the question of Receivers Certificates…" Bradley's letters are scarce.

Charles John Biddle, (1819-September 28, 1873), American soldier, was born and died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Nicholas Biddle, president of the Second Bank of the United States. Charles J. Biddle graduated from Princeton in 1837, where he studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1840. He served in the Mexican War, where he was promoted to the rank of major. At the close of the war, he returned to Philadelphia to practice law. In 1861 he was appointed a colonel in the Pennsylvania reserve volunteer corps, and in October of that year was elected to Congress, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Edward J. Morris. He was tendered a commission as Brigadier-General, but declined it. After the American Civil War he became one of the proprietors and editor-in-chief of the Philadelphia Age, and retained that place during the remainder of his life. His literary work was confined mainly to editorial contributions to the columns of this journal. His only separate publication is The Case of Major Andre, a carefully prepared essay read before the Pennsylvania historical society, vindicating the action of George Washington. The immediate occasion was a passage in Lord Mahon's History of England, which denounced the execution of Andre as the greatest blot upon Washington's record. By an authority so high as the London Critic, this essay was subsequently pronounced a fair refutation of Lord Mahon's charge . Wrappers. Good. Octavo. Pamphlet. more information

small folio, original half calf, marbled paper covered boards, very worn, corners worn through, spine mostly chipped away, boards scuffed and worn, some water staining, otherwise good, 173 pages manuscript entries written in ink. This docket book contains cases #247 thru #972, dated April 1818 through January 1824. The docket covers the 13th District Court of Chester County as the constables in the cases all appear to be from the area that court covered in the northern areas of the county (East & West Nantmeal.) The ledger contains 726 cases over the course of five years and ten months, covering the terms of various constables. Constable "G. Griffith" who is listed on the cases from April 1818 to April 1820, is probably Griffith Griffith (b. 1756-1774; d. 1823), of East Nantmeal, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Upon the expiration of Griffith's term the constable position was briefly taken over by John King (approx. 50 cases), then duties seem to have been shared by Andrew Kirkpatrick and Joseph Aikins for the term of April 1820 to April 1822. The docket book ends with John Wynn and John Wampole as constables. Occasionally other individuals fill in from time to time. Andrew Kirkpatrick, like Griffith, was listed in the U. S. Census as living in East Nantmeal, with John Wynn and Joseph Aikins (Akens) living in West Nantmeal. A typical leaf in the docket book contains between four to six case entries on each side. Each case is divided into three columns, with the first column listing the case number, the parties involved, and the expenses of the court. The second column lists the constable involved, the date and time of case, further information on the continuance dates if appropriate. The last column has a summary of the case and how the case was to be resolved, or how it was resolved or not. The cases are primarily civil cases involving disputes of less then $100.00, a small claims court if you will. There is much social and genealogical history that can be gleaned from the reading of the cases. Some of the more interesting cases involved the constables themselves taking individuals to court in order to obtain fees for work previously performed in their duties as constable. There are a number of cases, which were decided for the plaintiff because the defendant failed to appear, and one firm "Good & Jones" took a number of people in town to court in order to recover goods that were credited to them, but that they failed to pay for. The Docket Book also includes two contemporary broadsides pasted down on the inside covers of the book. The inside front board has a carrier's address entitled, News Boy's Address, to the Patrons of the American Republican, January 1, 1820, -Almanac included. McDonald, Checklist of American Newspaper Carriers' Addresses, 934. The broadside on the rear paste-down is entitled, Magistrate's Fee Bill. It is probable that this "News Boy's Address" for the patrons of the American Republican referred to the weekly paper which was begun in Downingtown by Charles Mowry, entitled the Temperance Zone in 1808. The next year the paper's name was changed to The Downingtown American Republican. The Magistrate's Fee Bill broadside that is pasted in the rear is not dated, but it is assumed also to be ca. 1820 and printed locally in Chester County. It is printed in double column and lists the various fees charged by the magistrate, which appear to be both general and civil costs. A typical cost reads as follows: . more information
