Raymond’s case reporter was first published in 1696.[1] The version Wythe owned was the second edition, which was first printed in London in 1743.[2] Little commentary exists on the quality of the case reports, but they are cited to by several court opinions, including early U.S. court decisions. One such decision is Georgia v. Brailford, which is one of the earliest U.S. Supreme Court decisions and the first involving a jury.[3] The court opinion there cited to Whaley v. Anderson, specifically to precedent relating to forfeiture of property by a joint tenant.[4] Another Supreme Court case to cite Raymond is MacDonogh v. Dannery, a 1796 case involving a maritime dispute between England and France.[5] The court opinion erroneously cites a case from Comberbach’s Reports, but meant to cite Hughs v. Cornelius.[6] Hughs provides precedent on neutral jurisdiction over prize disputes between two belligerent nations.[7]
