Plea in Lewis v. Phares, [Law papers].
Summary
Summary: Lewis appealed a $100 JP judgment and sued Phares for $1,000 in damages for failing to tend a wheat crop. Lewis had agreed to pay Phares $260 for sowing and harrowing 160 acres of wheat. He paid Phares $160 but refused to pay a $100 promissory note for the balance, claiming that Phares harrowed the wheat so poorly that the land produced only half the expected yield. The court agreed to consolidate the two cases, but Lewis then agreed to a nonsuit in the consolidated case. Lincoln represented Phares.
