Is the amount of the fine correct "ten POUNDS". Surely by the 1820s, the dollar would be the currency in use? -- Yendor1958 ( talk) 06:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
This topic came up a lot in the research I did in writing the Louisville and Portland Canal article, I confess I might have glossed over it a bit. Anyway, the main source I used in that article:
Has probably everything you'd want to know about the topic as it related to the canal. The article is on JSTOR if you have access. -- W.marsh 02:58, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Just one thing before I pass this: I feel that the following paragraph needs background on what the cases concerned, rather than merely the decisions. Other than that, this is a fantastic article well on its way to FAC.
In all, the New Court heard 77 cases during the Old Court-New Court controversy. In the April 1829 case of Hildreth's Heirs v. McIntire's Devisees, the reconstituted Court of Appeals declared all of these decisions void. In the later case of Smith v. Overstreetâs Admâr, the court formally ruled that the decisions were not part of the common law of Kentucky.

I just wanted to verify that the Blair in 'Williams v. Blair' is the same Blair in the sentence 'Fayette County circuit court judge Francis P. Blair'. I guess I don't know the trial naming system very well, but don't they name trials after the plaintiff and defendant rather than the judge (maybe the judge was the defendant?). Perhaps they are two different people, anyway noting whether they are the same Blair might be worth while. Then there is a Blair: 'Francis Blair, the New Court clerk, assembled a group that broke into Sneed's office and took what records they could find there.', are these all the same Blairs, different Blairs? Finally the 'Fayette County circuit court judge Francis P. Blair' links to a fourth blair who was obviously not a circuit court judge at the time, because he was a journalist according to the linking article, during the time in which the events occurred. I would fix it myself, but all references are to offline books, so we are dependent on them to provide clarification. Thanks for reading, M4bwav ( talk) 14:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
