Lincoln and Parker are associated in two cases which come to trial. In first, Phillips v. Beal, ejectment suit, jury finds for plaintiff, their client, and assesses his damages at one cent. In second, Hall v. Woodrow, jury fails to agree and is discharged (see May 6, 1854). Lincoln wins another case when suit on alleged debt of $3,000, which he is defending, is dismissed. In several other cases he files pleas.
