Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the High Court of Chancery Beginning in the Sittings After Hilary Term 29 Geo. III and Ending in the Sittings After Trinity Term 32 Geo. III A.D. 1792

1793003158Dublin: P. Byrne Grafton-Street 1793. First Edition full calf red label with gilt titles to spine. Calf rubbed front and rear boards moderate foxing throughout page block. prior owners names front endpages and title page front hinge just starting to separate. Contents are unmarked. One of the prior owners whose name is handwritten 3 times is "Alfred Balch Nashville". Balch was a close personal friend and neighboring plantation owner to President Andrew Jackson. He was a practicing lawyer in Nashville and eventually became head of the Nashville Bar Association. During Andrew Jackson's presidency Balch was appointed to the role of Commissioner of Indian Treaties. During this time he would be active in trying to resolve issues the Creek and Seminole tribes had with the United States government and may have helped resolve the Second Seminole War. Later in 1840 during the presidency of Martin Van Buren Jackson would pressure his former vice president to appoint Balch to the role of United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida where he would serve as a Florida District Judge for only one year. In 1835 letters appear between Alfred Balch and Andrew Jackson suggesting a level of comfort that only friends would have with one another. In one letter Jackson seems to write angrily about a secret conspiracy to undermine his chosen successor Martin Van Buren. What evidence there is seems to suggest a very close relationship between Andrew Jackson and Alfred Balch.Balchepedia; the Encyclopedia of Balch History. A great association to Presidential and Tennessee history ! . First Edition. Full Calf. Very Good Minus/No Jacket As Issued. P. Byrne, Grafton-Street Hardcover books

The regimental agent Africa Hamlin had failed to pay Brown and others the money due them for their service as Hamlin had been "defrauded" of the pay certificates. Nelson tries to get Brown's money for him. The Committee takes a tough line denying compensation on the ground that officers of each regiment had elected their regimental agent on behalf of themselves and the general soldiery serving with them; in so doing they assumed the risk of default.
