Narcissa Mudge claimed she was raped by her dentist Dr. Beale while unconscious from ether during a procedure. Beale was convicted. This account of the trial is written by someone who characterizes the dentist as an innocent victim. He argues that Mudge's accusation was based on false memory a side-effect induced by ether. His case is supported by the testimony concerning the effects of ether by a group of dentists and other authorities. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 13774. unknown

The Guards distinguished themselves at the Siege of Boston and elsewhere. In 1807 Colonel David Pinniger refused an order to select six guardsmen for federal service asserting that the Guards's charter permitted the call up of the entire unit but not individual soldiers. Pinniger's refusal precipitated his court martial and that of the fellow officers who supported him. All were removed from office without further penalty. The guards elected replacement officers; no one went into the U.S. Army. This pamphlet was published by the officers after the "unfavorable result" of the court martial in order to protect their reputations. All aspects of the case are covered.

Clapp paid a heavy price for his gradual rejection of Calvinist views and embrace of Unitarian principles. He spent seven stormy years at the First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans affiliated with the Mississippi Presbytery which finally convicted him of heresy in 1832. This record of his trial is preceded by a reprint of a sermon concerning the trial "On the Subject of Religious Liberty" by William Ellery Channing the foremost Unitarian preacher and theologian of the early nineteenth century. It warns of the evils of religion when it turns into "tyranny" as exemplified by the Mississippi Presbytery. Indeed says the introduction "no Presbytery in the United States ever before had the moral turpitude the hardihood the utter recklessness of justice evinced by the Mississippi Presbytery" xiv.
