Lincoln wins appeal in Trumbull v. Campbell. Trumbull received $400 for services rendered while he was secretary of state. Campbell, his successor, claimed that $200 of this should have gone to him. Sangamon Circuit Court upheld his claim; but Supreme Court rules that right of recovery lies only in state. Record; 8 Ill. 502.
