A scarce 1796 State of Vermont court execution document issued in Orange County, ordering enforcement of a court judgment obtained by BENJAMIN HUNTINGTON against BELA TURNER of Hanover, New Hampshire. The printed legal form measures approximately 7.5 x 11.5 inches and is completed in period manuscript, with the printed heading “STATE OF VERMONT.” The sheet folds in thirds as originally mailed.
The writ states that Benjamin Huntington of Norwich, Windsor County, Vermont recovered judgment in the Orange County Court held at Newbury on the second Tuesday of March 1796 against Bela Turner. The amount referenced in the document totals roughly £29 15s 6d, including damages and costs. The order directs the sheriff or constable to levy goods or property of Turner to satisfy the debt; failing that, the officer is commanded to take Turner’s body and commit him to the gaol in Newbury until payment is made or he is discharged according to law.
The document is dated Newbury, Vermont, June 24, 1796, and signed by the clerk S. Bradley. The reverse shows period docketing including “Execution Huntington vs Turner June 1796.”
Early Vermont legal documents from the 1790s statehood period (Vermont admitted 1791) are desirable to collectors of early American legal history. This example also reflects the historical practice of imprisonment for debt, common in the 18th century.
