Grand Jury Writ of Venire for November 1812 Term
Abstract

In October 1812, Judge Francois Vaugine ordered Patrick Cassidy, Court Clerk, to issue a writ summoning grand jurors for the November term of court. Daniel Mooney returned the writ on November 27^th. He had summonsed Christian Pringle, Anthony Wolf, Jacob Barkman, James Young, James C. Newall, George Rankin, James Currin, Harold Stillwell, Richmond Peeler, Patrick Heneberry, George Cook, John and Alexis Jardelas, John Hendry, Joseph Dardannes, John Larkey, John McCartney, Jacob Stanley, John W. Hunt, Peter Lefevre, Louis Dumont, Robert Jones, Elisha Wilborn, and Charles Refeld. These grand jurors would have appeared on the first day of the term-the fifth Monday in November. However, since no judges were present, the court was unable to meet. At the same time, the District of Arkansas was abolished by the governor of the territory of Missouri, and annexed to the District of New Madrid. The court's record book shows no further sessions until October 1814.
