Lincoln and Berry are made parties to judgment obtained in Sangamon Circuit Court by Peter Van Bergen against William G. Green April 29, 1834. On October 11, 1834 Berry turned over horse to Radford at agreed value of $35, and on October 19, 1834 paid balance due Radford, therefore judgment is reduced by order of court to $154 owed to Van Bergen. Record; Thomas, Lincoln's New Salem, 72.

[Lincoln and Berry are unable to pay judgment, and sheriff levies on their personal possessions, including Lincoln's horse, saddle, bridle, and surveying instruments. James Short buys and returns them to Lincoln. Thomas, Lincoln's New Salem, 73-74.]
