Historical Introduction
On 27 November 1840, commenced a claim the mercantile firm Hungerford & Livingston against and JS for repayment of a debt. JS and Miller had become indebted to Hibbard on 11 May 1840 for $85.00, with payment due on 6 November 1840. Sometime before November, Hibbard apparently transferred the note to Hungerford & Livingston. By the end of November the debt remained unpaid and Hibbard initiated an action for $85.81 against JS and Miller before , a justice of the peace in , Illinois, who was authorized under law to hear debt cases for sums that did not exceed $100.00. Marshall issued a summons notifying JS and Miller to appear before him on 5 December 1840 to answer the suit. Although JS and Miller received notice of the December court date, for unknown reasons neither appeared on the appointed day. Marshall issued a default judgment awarding the plaintiff $85.41 and ordering the defendants to pay the court costs.
filed an appeal with the Circuit Court in mid-December 1840, not long after judgment was entered against him and JS. On 8 May 1841, , a member of the Supreme Court assigned to the fifth judicial circuit, heard the appeal and ruled in favor of , awarding him $87.50 for the original debt and interest. In addition, the defendants were ordered to pay court costs and damages of $8.75 “by reason of this appeal having been prosecuted for purposes of delay.” The judgment was paid in full by 3 September 1841.
