An Authentic Report Of The Testimony In A Cause At Issue In The Court Of Chancery Of The State Of New Jersey, Between Thomas L. Shotwell, Complainant, And Joseph Hendrickson And Stacy Decow, Defendants: Taken Pursuant To The Rules Of The Court by Thomas L. Shotwell. This deposition-like volume presents a 1830–1831 Chancery record concerning a dispute within the Society of Friends (Quakers) over governance, property, and discipline during the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting era of 1827–1828. It assembles testimonies from the complainant, defendants, and numerous witnesses (including Cephas Ross, Halliday Jackson, and prominent Quaker figures such as John Comly, Elias Hicks, and Samuel Bettle) to detail contested clerk elections, procedural controversies, and the authority of the Meeting for Sufferings. The material traces the orthodox–Hicksite tensions, the use of epistles and exhibits to press claims, and the development of rival Yearly Meetings across Philadelphia’s Arch Street and Green Street venues, along with associated quarterly and monthly meetings. It illuminates governance, discipline, property, and the social consequences of factionalism within the Religious Society of Friends, including the role of printed tracts and intermeeting strategies.
