Agreement in Musick for use of Johnson v. Baughn & Jackson, [Law papers].

Portion of document appears to be in Lincoln's hand.
Summary: Baughn sued Johnson to recover a horse, valued at $90, and filed with Sheriff Musick a $180 replevin bond, which would be void if Baughn won the case and recovered the horse. Jackson served as surety for the bond. However, Baughn failed to appear at the next term of court, and Sheriff Musick, for the use of Johnson, sued Baughn to collect the bond. Baughn claimed that the bond was void because it was not sealed, that the court had ordered him to file a new bond, and that the court made that order after Baughn had returned to his home in Macon County, Illinois. Being blind, Baughn had not been able to file for a new bond before the beginning of the next term of court. The jury found for Musick and ruled that Baughn owed $180 for the bond, which would be discharged for $100. Lincoln wrote an agreement in the case, but his role is unclear.
