A historical court record unfolds through witness examinations and contested decisions.

This two-volume 1831 report presents the examinations and related proceedings from a Chancery case in New Jersey. It compiles testimony, clerked statements, and documentary exhibits tied to a dispute involving the complainant Thomas L. Shotwell and defendants Joseph Hendrickson and Stacy Decow.

The book offers a window into early 19th‑century legal procedure and the workings of a sworn inquiry, including cross‑examinations, clerical rulings, and the dynamics within a religious community connected to Friends society.

Transcripts of witness questions and answers from the examination process
Records and extracts from various meeting minutes and related communications
Discussion of evidentiary and disciplinary practices of the era
Historical context surrounding the parties and the court’s role in the proceedings
