October 25, 1750
A single sheet document from the "Supreme Court...Province of New York at the city Hall of the City of New York...the twenty fifth day of October, one thousand seven hundred and fifty." This concerns a case between John Owen and Samuel Burling in: "...the matters in controversy...to be referred to the arbitration and official determination...any three of them shall..make report thereof to this court with all convenient speed." with signatures (see). Noted as "a true copy" of the period since obviously copy machines did not exist.

Nice handwriting, measures 8 1/4 by 12 inches, mild wear at the edges, piece from upper left where seal was is removed, some notations on the reverse including the date filed being "17 January 1750" (using the old calendar).
