A propos de cet article

An early Maryland legal pleading written and signed by Roger B. Taney, later Chief Justice of the United States and author of Dred Scott v. Sandford, in a Frederick County debt action over the unpaid hire of an enslaved man named Jim. The document dates from Taney's early law practice and shows him participating in the ordinary county court enforcement of slave-hire contracts decades before the better-known public episodes that would define his historical reputation. The suit was brought by John McIlhaney against Thomas Johnson the 3rd and James Montgomery, described as yeomen of Frederick County, Maryland, and otherwise as men of Loudoun County, Virginia. Taney's declaration states that Johnson and Montgomery had obligated themselves on April 10, 1801, to pay McIlhaney $160 by January 1, 1802: "[.] whereas the said Thomas and James on the tenth day of April in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and one by their certain writing obligatory did oblige themselves, their heirs, executors and administrators to pay or cause to be paid on the first day of January eighteen hundred and two to the aforesaid John [.] the said sum of one hundred and sixty Dollars current money, it being for the hire of a Negro man Slave named Jim, unto that date [.] Nevertheless, the said Thomas and James, the said sum of one hundred and sixty Dollars current money have not been paid to the said John [.] but the said sum of one hundred and sixty Dollars current money to him the said John hitherto to render or pay they the said Thomas and James, have altogether refused and still do refuse [.] wherefore the said John saith he is the worse and hath damage to the value of two hundred dollars current money, and therefore he brings his suit [.] and the said John brings here into Court the writing obligatory aforesaid, sealed with the seals of the said Thomas and James [.]". A very early Taney manuscript from his Frederick County practice, placing the future author of Dred Scott inside the ordinary legal enforcement of slave hire, debt, and enslaved labor in Maryland. . Old folds; light wear; very good. Manuscript legal pleading signed ?R. B. Taney / Atty for Plff.? 13 x 7 ¾ inches. …
