In John Lee vs Francis Coburn, the defendant makes a general denial of the plaintiff's allegations and specifically pleads that he has previously "<I>paid to the…plaintiff the…sums of money</B></I>" claimed; Lincoln has written out the text of a receipt given by Lee to Coburn. This case went in Lincoln's favor when, upon being heard by the jury, the plaintiff submitted to a nonsuit.
