Docketed on verso by John McGraw, clerk of De Witt County.; Waller and his wife gave Hickox three promissory notes and secured them with a mortgage on eighty acres and part of a lot. After the Wallers failed to pay the $2,164.47 balance on the notes, Hickox sued to foreclose the mortgage. The Wallers gave Lincoln power of attorney to confess judgment, and the court ordered the Wallers to pay Hickox $2,164.81 within sixty days. The Wallers failed to pay, and the court sold the property to satisfy the judgment. -- from Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln website.
