         <p>In the U. S. Circuit Court,
  Lincoln &amp; Logan represent the Morgan County Bank in the case of 
  <name type='case' key='L02145'>Gale v. Morgan County Bank</name>. The plaintiff
  Dewitt C. Gale asks the court to grant him a new trial. Gale is suing the bank
  for $10,000 in damages. He claims that the bank failed to credit his account
  with deposits he made totaling $4,000. On January 16, a jury found for the
  bank. Judge Samuel H. Treat advises the parties that he does not have
  sufficient information to rule on the request for a new trial, and that he will
  take "time to consider" the motion. Judge Treat then adjourns the court until
  the next morning. <bibl default='NO'>Order, 8 February 1858, <ital>Gale v. Morgan County
