Attorney listed as "T Sill" (Theodore Sill, partner to Thomas Ruggles Gold). A vivid example of the Court's extension into upstate counties through its Utica office. 2. Cortland Co., 1809 - writ of summons for Samuel Sheldon in a case brought by John Bissell, likewise partially printed, with Arthur Breese named as clerk (printed), with gilt seal. Attorney named as "Theodr. Sill" (Theodore Sill, partner to Thomas Ruggles Gold) 3. Montgomery Co., 1805 - Partially printed writ which names James Fairlie and Francis Bloodgood as clerks (printed).

Albany Co., 1806 - Fully manuscript writ of execution, signed as Fairlie and Bloodgood (clerks), demanding that the Sheriff enforce payment by Joseph Lyon to Thomas and Garrit Storm. The Storms were members of a prominent New York mercantile family; Thomas Storm (1748-1833) served as Speaker of the New York Assembly (1802-03). Attorney of record: "Graham." 5. Washington Co., 1809 - manuscript writ of summons, signed as Fairlie, Bloodgood, and Breese (in what appears to be at least two distinct hands), naming J. Russell as attorney, summoning Absalom Daley and William Johnson to answer Simon Willard. The documents show the transition from fully manuscript legal process to printed blanks filled in by clerks, and bear the signatures of early Supreme Court clerks: James Fairlie, Harmanus Bleecker Bloodgood, and Arthur Breese. James Fairlie (1757-1830): Revolutionary War officer (served as aide-de-camp to General Steuben), later Clerk of the New York Supreme Court of Judicature for the New York City office (1798-1820). Prominent in Federalist circles, he was also a Regent of the University of the State of New York. His long tenure as clerk makes his name common on early 19th-century Supreme Court writs. Francis Bloodgood (1775-1840): Clerk of the New York Supreme Court of Judicature at Albany (1797-1825) and later served twice as Mayor of Albany. A central figure in Albany's legal and civic world, his career spanned both law and politics, and he is remembered for helping administer the highest state court during a formative period. Arthur Breese (1770-1825): Princeton graduate (1790), lawyer, and influential in Oneida County politics. Appointed Clerk of the New York Supreme Court at Utica in 1808, overseeing the new western division of the court until his death in 1825. He was the father of Sidney Breese, later U.S. Senator from Illinois and Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court. His clerkship marked the expansion of the state's judicial system into western New York. 1402716. Special Collections - Upstairs.
