Mississippi [sic] Herald & Natchez Gazette, Tuesday, March 11, 1806; Issue 11; col A

The Creditors to the estate of Gideon Matlock are requested to lay their respective Claims

before William Lindsey, Ralph Ragan, and John Cummins Commissioners for allowances. And all

those indebted are earnestly requested to make immediate to Joshua G Clarke. Elizabeth Matlock

To his Excellency James Maddison President of the United States of America and the

We your petitioners humbly sheweth that a great many of your fellow citizens have

unfortunately settled on what is now called chickasaw land- which has led us into

difficultys that tongue cannot express if the orders from the ware department are

executed in removeing us off of said land. However in a government like ours founded

on the will of the people we have reason to hope and expect that we shall be treated

with as much lennity as the duty you owe to Justice will permit. We therefore wish,

Without the shade or colour of falsehood, to leve to your consideration the main

object of our setling of this country In the first Place, we understood that all the

land on the north side of Tennessee river was purchased of the Indians which was

certainly the Case, and further we understood that this was congress land as we call

it and by paying of two Dollars per acre we should obtain An undoubted title to our

lands and avoide the endless law suits that [107] arise in our neighboring states in

the landed property under these and many other impressions of minde that appeared

inviteing to us to setle here a great many of us solde our possessions and Came and

settled here in the winter and spring of 1807 without any knoledg or intention of

violating the laws of government or Infringing on the right of another nation and we

remained in this peacefull situation untill the fall of 1807 when General Robertson

Came on runing the chickasaw boundary line and he informed us that, though the cherokees

had sold this land, yet the chickasaws held a clame to it as their right. And now as booth

nations |had| set up a clame to this land and Government haveing extingushed the cherokee

clame; and we who are well acquainted with the boundarys of this country do think in

Justice that the cherokees had undoubtedly the best right to this land we could state

our reasons for thinking so, in many cases, but we shall only refurr you to one particular,

that is when Zacheriah Cocks made a purchase of parte of this country and came in order to

settle it he landed on an island in the Mussell Shoals, and was making preparations to

ingarrison himself but when the cherokees Understood his intentions they got themselves

together and sent in messingers to him telling him if he did not desist and remove his men

out of their country they would certainly imbody themselves and cut him off. And Cocks took

the alarme And left the Island in the night. And if the cherokees had not defended this

country at that time it may be persumed that it would have been taken from the chickasaws

without asking of them anything about their right to it. For the cherokees do say that they

have held an antiant clame to it which they never lost by sword or treaty untill extinguished

by government. And should this be the camse and appeare to your satisfaction that the cherokees

had at least as good a right as the chickasaw and you having that right invested in you-and

you are allso willing to pay the chickasaw for their clame and they refuse to sell it where

then can there remain a single doubt In the publick Minde of doing the chickasaws any kind of

unjuistice in makeing use of the cherokee clame and saying: if they will not take a reasonable

price for their clame we will not remove our fellow citizens off which will bring many women

and children to a state of starvation mearly to gratify a heathan nation Who have no better

right to this land than we have ourselves And they have by estemation nearly 100000 acres of

land to each man Of their nation and of no more use to government or society than to saunter

about upon like so many wolves or bares whilst they who would be a supporte to government and

Improve the country must be forsed even to rent poore stony ridges to make a support to rase

their famelies on whist there is fine fertile countrys lying uncultivated and we must be

debared even from inJoying a small Corner of this land but we look to you the [108] boddy of

government as a friendly father to us and believe it Compleatley within your power Whilst you

are administering Justice between us and the chickasaws to say with the greatest propriety that

we have once purchased this land and we will not remove our fellow citizens off but let them

remain as tennants at will untill the chickasaws may feell a disposition to sell us their clame

therefore we your humble petitioners wish you to take our standing duely into consideration and

not say they are a set of dishoneste people who have fled from the lawes of their country and

it is no matter what is done With them.for we can support our carractors to be other ways and

it is our wish and desire to protect and supporte our own native Government we must informe you

that in the settling of this country men was obliged to expose themselves very much and the

Climate not helthy a number of respectable men have deceased and left their widows with families

Of alphan [orphan] children to rase in the best way they can And you might allmost as well send

the sword amongst us as the fammin the time being short that our orders permits us to stay on we

wish you to send us an answer to our petition as soon as posable and, for heavens Sake Pause to

think what is to become of these poore alphan families who have more need of the help of some

friendly parish than to have the strictest orders executed on them who has not a friend in this

unfeeling world that is able to asist them Either in geting off of said land or supporting when

they are off we are certain in our own minds that if you could have A true representation of our

carractor the industry we have made. and the purity of our intentions in settling here together

with the justice of our cause you would say in the name of God let them stay on and eat their

well earned bread. Perhaps our number may be fare more than you are apprised of from the best

calculation that we can make there is Exclusive of Doubleheads reserv 2250 souls on what is

called chickasaw land and all of us could live tollerabie comfortable if we Could remain on our

improvements but the distance is so great if we are removed off that we cannot take our produce

with Us and a great many not in a circumstance to purchase more will in consequence of this be

brought to a deplorable situation We shall therefore conclude in hopes that on a due consideration

we shall find favour in the sight of your most honourable Body which will in duty binde your

The Memphis Eagle gives an account of a desperate affray which occurred about two weeks

since at Hernando, Miss., between T. J. MATLOCK, Esq., and his brother and overseer on

one side, and a Mr. FORREST on the other. It seems the MATLOCKS had a dispute with

another person, when young Mr. FORREST made some interfering remarks; some time after

which, he and the MARLOCKS met, when some exciting language rose between them, which

induced one of the MATLOCKS to raise a stick to strike FORREST, who immediately drew a

revolving pistol, and set it to work as fast as possible, shooting both of the MATLOCKS

through; the younger, T. J. through the shoulder and upper part of the breast, and the

other through the arm, which has since been amputated. Mr. T. J. MATLOCK lives in a

doubtful state; young Mr. FORREST also received a slight pistol wound in his arm. The

most melancholy part of the affray was the death of old Mr. FORREST, father of the

other, who stood some yards off, during the affray, offering no interference. It ids

said he was deliberately shot down by Mr. MATLOCK'S overseer, without the least

provocation; other reports say the pistol was not aimed at him. The overseer is in jail.

The return of the sheriff must show, within itself, that the writ was executed,

a sufficient number of days before the return day, to entitle the plaintiff to

his judgment. A judgment by default, in absence of such showing, is irregular.

The statute makes it the duty of the officer to mark on the process the day it

is received, and the time when executed.

ERROR to the circuit court of Madison county.

Calhoun, for plaintiff in error. Hughes, contra.

Mr. Justice TROTTER delivered the opinion of the court.

This case came up on a writ of error to the Madison circuit court. James Matlock,

the defendant, instituted an action of indebitatus assumpsit in the circuit court

of Madison county, upon a promissory note made by the plaintiffs, and one P. C.

Goosey, for the sum of two thousand and thirty dollars. The writ was returnable to

the March term, 1835, of that court, and was regularly executed upon Mitchel Calhoun,

one of the plaintiffs, on the 28th of February, 1835. It was subsequently executed on

Henry Calhoun, in March of the same year, but the day of the month is not stated by

the officer who returned it. The action was discontinued against Goosey, and at the

return term of the process, a judgment by default was entered by the court against

Mitchel and Henry Calhoun, for the sum demanded in the declaration. The record does

not state, on which day of the term the judgment was rendered.

There are several errors assigned by the plaintiffs, all of which, however, were abandoned

on the argument, except the first. The court does not, therefore, deem it necessary to

notice the others. The plaintiffs in error insist, that the court below erred in rendering

a judgment by default, against them, because the writ was not executed on Henry Calhoun, a

sufficient length of time before the return day of the same, to give the court jurisdiction.

The term commenced on the first Monday, after the fourth Monday of March, 1835. The writ was

served on H. Calhoun in March. If the record showed that the judgment was rendered on the

second day of the term, which is the usual day for such judgments, under the rules of practice

in this state it would be essential to its validity, that the service of the writ on Henry

Calhoun, as well as Mitchell Calhoun, was made twenty days before the return day thereof. If

the court were permitted to indulge in presumption, in such a case, the endorsement on the writ,

the notification that the declaration had been filed at the time of issuing it, and that judgment

would be required at the return term, all concurring to show that the plaintiff below was

proceeding under the provision of the 45th section of the Circuit Court Law, all these facts,

would leave but little room for doubt, that the judgment was taken on the second day of the term.

To sustain it, this court would be forced to go further, and presume that the service of the writ

on H. Calhoun, was made during some one of the first days of March. But this they do not conceive

themselves authorized to do; as there is no legal criterion known to them, by which they can presume

it to have been upon the first, rather than the last day of the month. The statute directs the

sheriff or other officer, in express words, to mark upon the writ the day of the month and year,

it came into his hands, as well as that of its execution. The court can look alone to his official

return for its authority to proceed.

If it is ambiguous, it can be explained only by an amendment of the return, made with the permission

of the court. The court below could not, therefore, render the judgment in this case, on the second

day of the term, because the return of the officer does not, and could not, satisfy the court, that

the writ had been executed at least twenty days before the return day thereof.

It was insisted by the counsel for the defendant in error, that as the record does not show that the

judgment was taken on the second day of the term, the court may presume it to have been taken on any

subsequent day which would be regular, if there were five days between the last day of March and the

commencement of the term. But there cannot, by any possibility, be five days between the end of the

month of March and the time then fixed for the holding of the court, and unless the writ was executed

five days before the day of its return, the cause stood continued until the next term, and the court

had no power to pronounce the judgment which it did.

For these reasons, the judgment of the circuit court must be reversed, and the cause remanded for

further proceedings. In this opinion the court are unanimous
