In the Tazewell County Circuit Court, Lincoln and William B. Parker represent attorney Edward Jones, who seeks $5,000 in damages from Dr. Joseph S. Maus in the case of Jones v. Maus. Jones claims that Maus caused injury to Jones's eyesight during a fight the two men had after Jones questioned Maus's medical training. The parties file an agreement which stipulates that Maus will pay all of the court costs. The court hears arguments in the case of Gill and Rupert v. Webster, in which Lincoln represents defendant Remington K. Webster, and James Haines represents plaintiffs Thomas Gill and Columbus J. D. Rupert. Lincoln and Haines sign an agreement for Webster to pay the money he owes to the plaintiffs. As part of the agreement, the attorneys also sign an award to credit Webster $4 for twenty gallons of peach liquor that Gill and Rupert had in their possession. Judge David Davis enters the judgment against Webster for the agreed amount of $437.55 and court costs. Lincoln files a bond for costs in the case of Harris Lime Rock Company v. Harris. Lincoln represents the Harris Lime Rock Company, which is suing Samuel B. Harris for the money it claims Harris illegally took from the company. Affidavit of Edward Jones, 24 July 1851, Jones v.
