1871 Mississippi Arrest Warrant. This legal document from Tippah County, Mississippi, dated Jan. 24, 1871, commands the local constable to "take the body of Jefferson Thomason If to be found in your County, and him safely keep, so that you have him before the Judge of our next Circuit Court, to be held for the County aforesaid, at the Court House in the Town of Ripley, on the Fourth Monday of March 1871 then and there to answer the State of Mississippi upon the charge of refusal & neglect to keep road in repair." On the back is a notation that the defendant was not to be found in the County on the stated day, and we are curious as to what the punishment for such an offense might have been in Reconstruction era Mississippi. Very Fine overall, with a stain at the top left corner and a couple of small holes, nicks, and splits. Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour.
