Item description from seller

Nashville, TN, 1825. 15.5" x 12.5". Rare 1825 Broadside with the Rules for Taking Depositions in Tennessee [Broadside]. [Tennessee]. Rules of the Supreme Court of Errors and Appeals of the State of Tennessee, Relative to Taking Depositions. Adopted at Nashville, January Term, 1825. [Nashville: np], 1825. 15-1/2" x 12-1/2" broadside, main text in two columns, single-column, part-printed document below, completed in manuscript, docketed on verso. Moderate toning and negligible foxing, vertical and horizontal fold lines, one or two small tears at folds. A very good copy of a rare item. $950. * In 1825 the Supreme Court of Errors and Appeals of Tennessee, the predecessor of the current Tennessee Supreme Court, authorized justices of the peace and other civil officers to obtain depositions (sworn testimony) from witnesses who could not attend court in person, a common issue at the time. This broadside is a commission for these officers. It is headed by a list of relevant laws and a template for a deposition. Our copy orders "any Justice of the Peace for Washington County" to "examine all witnesses" in a dispute between Alfred W. Taylor and Henry Wilkes. It is dated January 30, 1827 and signed in ink by Thomas N. Clark, Clerk of the Court in Kingston, Tennessee. (The justice of the peace is authorized to allow Quakers to affirm rather than swear before taking testimony.) No copies found on OCLC. We located one copy in the Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection at the Knox County Tennessee Public Library.
