description

Summary

Appears to be in Lincoln's hand.

Summary: Peters gave Wells a promissory note for $300, but failed to pay. Wells sued Peters in an action of assumpsit to recover the debt, and Peters retained Lincoln. Peters claimed that he bought land from Wells and gave him the note, but that Wells never owned the land when he sold it. Peters withdrew his plea, and the court ruled for Wells and awarded $325.50 in damages.
