  • Notes 
    • Wellsburg Herald Brooke Co., VA./W.VA. 21 Mar., 1862:

      Circuit Court (Tuesday 18th March)
      Commonwealth vs. John Prather.
      This case grew out of a rather aggravated assault and battery with a club by
      John Prather upon John Miller, last July, in which moving some boards and some
      unscriptural talk figured largely in the case.
      Prather fined $17 and cost.

      Commonwealth va. Hetty Jordan.
      Hetty committed a violent assault upon John Miller for which the commonwealth
      "tuck" her up and fined her 16 cents and costs.
      She had been previously fined for the same offense by the mayor of the town,
      and probably the law in her case was fully expiated.
