Legal Document Concerning Solomon de Medina, Mosesson and Company and the Seizure of Tobacco, 1727

Four pages (out of an original forty-four) of a printed legal document on vellum, concerning a case between Solomon de Medina, Mosesson and Company, and Rene Hett and the Executors of Andrew Fresneau. The case centers around a shipment of tobacco seized in 1718 and the subsequent legal battles in the New York Court of Vice Admiralty and the High Court of Admiralty of Great Britain. The document, dated March 1727, details the legal proceedings and the involved parties. It appears to have been printed in New York by William Bradford in 1728.
