Description

Hoadly vs. Pond Costs Documents

Overview

The Hoadly vs. Pond Costs Documents is a digitized collection of two contemporaneous cost bills from the 1715 legal dispute between William Hoadly and Samt Bond. The collection is housed in the Connecticut State Library’s New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) repository and is indexed under the “Black, African American, and Indigenous History” (BAAI) subject series. It is presented in English and consists of scanned images of the original bills, each accompanied by OCR‑extracted text.

Background

In 1715, William Hoadly brought a claim against Samt Bond before the New Haven County Superior Court. The case, recorded in the NHSC files, is part of a broader CT State Library project that catalogs BAAI‑related court proceedings. The cost bills were prepared by Samt Edly, Hoadly’s assistant, and detail the financial outlays required for the litigation. The collection reflects the early 18th‑century practice of itemizing legal expenses for court attendance, travel, and filing.

Contents

  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSCostsHoadlyvsPond001.jpg – A scanned bill listing costs for court attendance (5 days), travel to and from the court, copies from the clerk’s office, court and jury fees, filing fees, and travel for two witnesses. OCR text provides the full list of charges and the signature of Samt Edly.
  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSCostsHoadlyvsPond002.jpg – A brief confirmation sheet noting “Hoadly, N.Y.”, “Costs Entor’d.”, and the year 1715.
  • Metadata (PINAX) and the collection’s descriptive record, including creator, institution, and subject headings.

Scope

The collection is limited to the cost bills associated with the Hoadly vs. Pond case. It does not include the full court docket, pleadings, or judgments. The documents cover a single year (1715) and are geographically bound to New Haven, Connecticut. They are relevant to studies of early colonial legal costs, court procedure, and the BAAI‑focused archival project within the NHSC.
