Friday, June 4, 1852.Decatur, IL. | In the Macon County Circuit Court, Judge David Davis hears all of the evidence in the appeal
case of Edwards for use of Edwards v. Florey, and then
affirms the judgment of the lower court. The court orders Lincoln's and Joel Seth Post's client,
Israel Florey, to pay the plaintiff $77.65 and his court costs. Lincoln, representing the
plaintiffs in the ejectment case of Trustees of Township 16N,
Range 1E v. Prather, files a declaration and notice with the court. The parties in the
appeal case of Kuffman for use of Thorpe v. Edwards and
Edwards agree to a trial "by the court, without the intervention of a jury." However,
before the court hears the evidence in the case, Lincoln's and Post's client Jesse Kuffman
dismisses the suit. Judge Davis orders Kuffman to pay the court costs. Defendant William
Prather, Lincoln's client in the debt case of Smith v.
Prather, requests a continuance from the court, and the court grants Prather's request.
