Report of the Case Between Aylett and Aylett[1] is a published opinion by George Wythe, for the case Aylett v. Aylett, Wythe 219 (1793), in Virginia's High Court of Chancery.[2] The report was published in pamphlet form in 1796, printed by Thomas Nicolson of Richmond, Virginia, who had published Wythe's Reports in 1795, and at least seven other supplements for Wythe, in 1796 and after.[3]

Title page for Wythe's supplemental pamphlet, Report of the Case between Aylett and Aylett (Richmond, VA: Thomas Nicolson, 1796). Copy at the Virginia Historical Society.

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Although the location of a copy of this pamphlet which may have belonged to George Wythe has not been determined, he certainly would have owned copies of his own published reports, and a bound volume in the library of Thomas Jefferson contains other supplements which did belong to Wythe.[4]
