A Report of the Case Between Field and Harrison is a published opinion by George Wythe, for the case Field v. Harrison, Wythe 273 (1794), in Virginia's High Court of Chancery.[1] The report was published in pamphlet form in 1796 by Thomas Nicholson of Richmond, Virginia, who had published Wythe's Reports in 1795, and at least seven other supplements for Wythe, in 1796 and after.[2]

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Upon his death, a copy of this pamphlet which had belonged to Wythe was bequeathed with his books to Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson had the pamphlet bound into a volume with seven of Wythe's other Chancery decisions which were published as supplements.[3] Subsequently, the volume became part of the collection at the Library of Congress, titled on the spine: Wythe's Reports. Supplement. Virginia. 1796-99.[4] The pamphlet for A Report of the Case Between Field and Harrison has a handwritten notation, "no. 2," on the first page.[5]

The copy at the Library of Congress has "MS. corrections in the handwriting of Wythe."[6]

  • Title page from Wythe's pamphlet, A Report of the Case between Field and Harrison, Determined by the High Court of Chancery, in Which the Decree was Reversed by the Court of Appeals (1796). Copy at the Library of Virginia.
