[Two pleas and rejoinder, written by Lincoln, are filed in Ligget v. Frazier in Champaign Circuit Court. Case was transferred from Vermilion County. They aver that at time of alleged trespass defendant was acting sheriff of county and his confinement of plaintiff in jail was done in line of duty under writ. Associated with Murphy for defense, he writes instructions to jury, and probably mails papers to Murphy.
