Boston: Printed for the Publisher, 1848. 16 pp. Octavo (9-1/2" x 5-3/4"). Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet, bottom edge untrimmed, last signature unopened. Moderate toning, light foxing to margins, faint offsetting to a few leaves, first leaf detached. $350. * Only edition. "Samuel Parker, a member of the Middlesex bar, was indicted and convicted of perjury in the Court of Common Pleas in 1845, for statements made before two grand juries relating to a mortgage loan. The conviction was later set aside by the Supreme Judicial Court and a new trial ordered" (Cohen).

Farley and Huntington were the lead prosecutors in the case.
