Between Wilkins and Taylor is a published opinion by George Wythe, for the case Wilkins v. Taylor, Wythe 338 (1799), in Virginia's High Court of Chancery.[1] The report was published in pamphlet form in 1799 or later—almost certainly printed 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 later.[2]
