KnoxCounty court record for Lassalle vs. Huffman, 1820

Description:	Folder 2535 in Box 44 of Knox County Circuit Court records at the Knox County Public Library’s McGrady-Brockman House holds three documents in the case of Lassalle vs. Huffman. This was a debt litigation by Lassalle due to Huffman giving harbor to Lassalle’s servant, Polly whom Lassalle claimed he had owned for fourteen years. He claimed Huffman had her for nineteen days and owed him $19.00. This case is tied to the case of Polly vs. Lassalle found in Folder 2490 in Box 43 when Polly was fighting for her freedom. The documents consist of the court filing of Lassalle containing his complaints, a filing by Amory Kinny, the attorney for Huffman, and special bail collected from Huffman.
