Expected folds; center fold reinforced on verso; attached to separate sheet of paper by mounting strips; very good.Chief Justice George Walton orders all sheriffs to summon James Martin and James McNeil to appear before the Richmond County Superior Court on the fourth Tuesday of October 1783.

At the October term, an attorney appeared for the defendants, and the jury found for the plaintiff and awarded £11.7s.6d. plus costs and interest.George Walton (ca. 1749-1804) was born in Virginia, raised by an uncle, and moved to Savannah, Georgia, in 1769, to study law. He gained admission to the bar in 1774 and quickly became one of the most successful lawyers in Georgia. He supported the patriot cause and served as Secretary of the Georgia Provincial Congress and president of the Council of Safety.
