Sittings Before Lord Eldon and a Special Jury
A chancery case from the Court of Chancery concerns the Harrison assignees against Collins and Wood the defendants. Eleven bankruptcy commissions were issued against John and William Harrison from 1793 to 1798 but only the last was acted upon. The jury found for the defendants, limiting the eleventh commission. The matter rests with the Lord Chancellor’s equity to determine if another commission should be taken out. The record also contains an 1800 remedy advertisement for Beecham Gilead cordial and Spilsbury’s Anti scorbic Drops with testimonials and sales details.
