Court Document - Simons & Simons, Charleston, South Carolina, March 28, 1871Court Document - Simons & Simons, Charleston, South Carolina, March 28, 1871

This handwritten court document, dated March 28, 1871, from Charleston County, South Carolina, is a "Notice of Appeal" submitted by John Phillips on behalf of the legal firm Simons & Simons. It pertains to a lawsuit filed by Theodore M. Cater against Gustavus Poznanski concerning a dispute over lease terms. The document outlines two main grounds for appeal: first, that there was insufficient evidence for the plaintiff's claim of one thousand dollars in damages, and second, that the case was poorly prepared, arguing that the defendant (Poznanski) should pay an annual lease. The document is written on lined paper and shows signs of age, including fold marks and water stains.
