 The greater part by far of all the litigation grew ont of criminal prosecu- tiops. The docket was always full of actions for gambling, profanity, assault and battery, malicious trespaes and now and then fer murder. But little atten- tion was paid to forms if there was a shorter cut across lots to justice. l have before me one of the first declarations prepared by Lincoln after his admission to the bar. Stuart, being full of con- gressional matters and much of the time absent il Washington, the prepa- ration of papers fell to Lincoln. This one is @ suit on a note brought by Levi Summers against Henry Sears The amount involved is $130, and although the method of pleading then ill vogue was necessarily prolix and tedious the drawer of this plea has boiled 1t down till il scarcely covers two sheets of the narrow legal paper then in use.
