About this title

Synopsis

Insight into an early 20th‑century postal dispute and how courts read volumes of mailing data
This historical record presents a detailed look at how the Lewis Publishing Company challenged postal charges and bond obligations related to second‑class mailings. It examines the facts the court weighed, including counts of copies mailed, subscriber totals, and how margins at the pound rate were calculated. The document also shows how equity and law intersect in a complex accounting case, and how a judge reasons about relief and remedies in a long, intricate dispute.

- See how totals, subscriber counts, and sample copies affected a regulatory ruling and a financial claim.
- Understand the tension between official reports, test results, and a party’s assertions in a courtroom setting.
- Learn how a judge explains why relief can be granted under a general prayer when the facts justify it.
- Get a snapshot of how early 1900s administrative disputes were documented and argued in federal courts.

Ideal for readers of legal history, government reporting, and early postal regulation, who want a grounded view of how a civil dispute over postage, deposits, and bonds was interpreted and resolved.
