- Notes:
- Concerning a dispute over a loan made to Thomas L. Shotwell in 1821 from the school fund of the Chesterfield Preparative Meeting. The Meeting split into Orthodox and Hicksite faction in 1827, and repayment of the loan was subsequently claimed by both Joseph Hendrickson (treasurer of the fund for the Orthodox faction) and Stacy Decow (treasurer of the fund for the Hicksite faction). Joseph Hendrickson filed a bill for relief against Thomas Shotwell, to which Shotwell replied with a bill of interpleader against Hendrickson and Stacy Decow.
- "In presenting a second edition of this work to the public, the editor feels much regret at being unable to gratify public expectation, in giving a more complete view of this interesting question, by the publication of the arguments on the other side, or at least the brilliant effort of the Hon. S.L. Southard, in behalf of Decow. It is no more than justice to all parties to state, that those who take the opposite side of the question, were not only willing, but anxious to accede to his wishes in this respect; but their counsel not deeming it expedient to do so, the copy could not be procured. Philad. April 1, 1833."--T.p., verso.
