Description: This lot consists of two old New York Supreme Court documents, dated 1837 and 1838, and with both concerned with cases from Warren County. In addition, all three documents concern cases that were held in the court of Judge Samuel Nelson, who at that time was Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court. Samuel Nelson (1792-1873) had a long judicial career, which concluded in a stint of twenty-seven years as a justice on the United States Supreme Court, from 1845 to 1872. Nelson was one of the seven justices who concurred on the notorious 1857 Dred Scott decision, although he did so for reasons different from Chief Justice Roger Taney's. One of the documents is four pages long; that is,it is composed of two sheets of paper, which are written on both sides. The other document is six pages long (three sheets). These documents are handwritten and signed bya court clerk. They MIGHT also be signed by a few of the people involved with the case. The documents are about 13" by 8". They are in good condition, with creases where they have been folded, light browning, and some general wear. These documents would be a great addition to the collection of any local historian from Warren County, New York. Shipping is FREE within the USA.
