The murder of one Samuel Skinner was the subject the State v. Poll and Lavinia slaves.<p>Thomas Ruffin 1787-1870 was a justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court and was chief justice from 1833 to 1852.<p>Francis L.

169616674London 1696. First edition. 1 vols. Sm 4to. Disbound chipping and losses from removed stitching margins closely trimmed and cropped with text loss on the first eight pages the loss is generally a letter or part of a word so that the content is understandable thereafter a line of text is missing on each page as well as the letters or parts of words trimmed from the margins these losses do not seem to greatly affect comprehension of Killigrew's plan two overlay slips to correct text on page 4 and another on page 8 some soiling. First edition. 1 vols. Sm 4to. This is Killigrew's proposal for allaying the national debt by a system of bonds and paper specie. He had presented a similar proposal in the early reign of William and Mary and apparently revives it here with additions and answers to some of his critics. Kress and the DNB give 1663 as the date of publication but he makes references to "the reign of Charles II" and in the "Clause" the notation "To carry on the War the year 97" appears. Killigrew died in October 1695. Following this pamphlet is a single leaf entitled "To the Honourable the Knights Citizens and Burgesses in Parliament Assembled The Humble Petition of Percivall Brunskell Gent." Kress 1111 giving the date of 1663 as does the DNB; Wing K.466 giving the date of 1696 unknown
