Andrew Jackson's Fine and Martial Law Clash at Trial
A chaotic episode in which Andrew Jackson clashed with courts over martial law. A man named Lawrie was tried for bribery, acquitted, and Jackson, claiming martial authority, jailed Loufmier before sending Hall and Wisner out of the city. A rumor of peace surfaced but Jackson pressed on, was summoned for contempt, and paid a $1,000 fine amid cheering. The report also includes a New York Telegram notice on a home remedy for a scalp-stimulating liniment.
