Massachusetts Doctor Challenges Florida Decree in Supreme Court
Dr. Augustin Thompson of Lowell, before Judge Lathrop, argued a writ of error seeking reversal of Judge Allen’s 1890 decree ordering Arthur M. Evans to convey Florida land worth 10000 dollars to Deshon and Hamlin. Thompson asserted lack of jurisdiction and violation of Massachusetts due process, contending comity is merely courtesy and the court overstepped Florida law.
