In the Woodford County Circuit Court, a jury decides against Abner A. Wolf in the case of Ramsey and Welsh v. Wolf. Lincoln takes the affidavit of Samuel L. Fleming, Wolf's attorney. Later in the day, Fleming asks the court to set aside the verdict, and he files the affidavit in which he argues for a new trial. Judge David Davis continues the case until the fall term. In the case of Taylor v. Sands et al., involving an incomplete land sale, Lincoln and Asahel Gridley represent plaintiff Sylvenus Taylor. Lincoln writes a replication to the defendants' answers, and the parties agree to continue the case until the next term. Affidavit, 17 April 1852, Ramsey and Welsh v.
