Stuart & Lincoln, representing the plaintiffs, obtain a judgment of $860.48 by confession of one of the defendants, Alexander Garrett, in Anderson, Bell & Co. v. H. Garrett & Co.. The court orders the clerk to issue a summons to the other defendant Henry Garrett. The court grants them leave to amend the bill of complaint in Francis v. Mitchell et al. Record.

In the partition case, Mason v. Mason et al., and the dower case Mason v. Mason et al., Lincoln writes the commissioner's report partitioning the land in Noah Mason's estate and assigning dower to his widow, Lucinda Mason. The three commissioners later sign the report.
