Brief for James Allston, President and Directors of the Union Bank of Maryland v. Thomas Contee Worthington, 1812

Description
Brought to court by James Allston, this case revolves around the debt accrued by Thomas Contee and Alexander Contee prior to their deaths. They first borrowed $788.17 and then went back to him to borrow the same amount again. Upon their respective deaths, however, the debt was still outstanding. Their executor, Thomas Contee Worthington, refused to repay the debt, so James Allston hired Roger Taney to file suit against them for the sum of $2000.
