This Day in History: 1874-06-29
William Sears of Mahwah has sued John A. Zabriskie of Saddle River for a portion of his wages as a farm laborer. He is being represented by lawyer DeBaun who has developed a reputation as a crack trial lawyer locally. The case will be held before Squire Christie (on the 29th). Sears claims that he contracted to work for a year for $690. Zabriskie had paid him $360 and refused to pay the balance when Sears said he would not stay on another year. (Trial was eventually set for August 10th.) (Bristow)
