Coshocton Common Pleas August Term 1822. John Hutchison v. James [???] Trespass on the case Issue ... returnable forthwith and ... suit brought to recover damages of defendant for saying of plaintiff that he "run away from Pennsylvania for having had carnal connection with a negro girl." Herrick & Goddard Atty for Pltf 20 Aug 1822 ...

Horizontal fold. 20 x 11 cm. Legal action only 11 years after this Ohio County was formed in 1810. There were a few words we couldn't decipher but the import of this modest legal legal document is that Hutchinson claimed that this statement by the defendant slandered the plaintiff. Very Good. Item #85771
