Merrick, Pliny: Judge Merrick's Charge to the Jury, in the Dalton Divorce Case,... 1857

[Trial]. Dalton v. Dalton Merrick, Pliny [1794-1867)]. Judge Merrick's Charge to the Jury, In the Dalton Divorce Case, The Phonographic Report of the Daily Bee (Boston Daily Bee Extra), By Messrs J.M.W. Yerrinton, and Rufus Leighton, Of Boston, And Messrs Henry M. Parkhurst and William H. Burr, Of New York. [Boston]: Office of the Boston Daily Bee, 1857. 16 pp. Text in parallel columns. Octavo (10" x 6-1/2"). Stab-stitched pamphlet. Wrappers detached, light edgewear, vertical fold line through center. Light browning, some spotting to rear. A scarce item. * Benjamin F. Dalton sued for divorce on the grounds of his wife's alleged adultery with William Sumner, who had been killed by Dalton in a crime of passion. Mrs. Dalton denied the charge and alleged that Mr. Dalton had himself committed adultery. The trial was widely publicized and was a notorious society scandal. Richard Henry Dana was the lawyer for Benjamin Dalton, Rufus Choate for Helen Dalton. The jury ended deadlocked with ten votes for Dalton and two for Helen Dalton. Dalton later received a five-month sentence for the murder of Sumner. The light sentence reflected popular sympathy for supposedly cuckolded Dalton.
