Between John Leybourn Witham, Plaintiff in Error

Rare printed summary of the case brought by the Earl of Derby in an appeal hearing made in the House of Lords: 1 copy only in the United States. Large bifolium, folded horizontally with docket title and drop head title. Short tears at ends of folds and browning to the outermost panel which bears the docket title. Interesting annotation in a contemporary hand which appears to state that after being heard in the House of Lords the earlier verdict ‘be affirmed with 10. Costs’. ESTC locates copies at the British Library, Dublin and Paxton House only; OCLC adds Queensland, NLS and Social Law Library, Mass. A second summary of the Plaintiff’s case is similarly rare with a single US copy at Yale.
