Description

Derby Savings Bank vs. Mathewson Exhibit

Overview

The Derby Savings Bank vs. Mathewson Exhibit is a digitized collection of legal documents from the Superior Court of Connecticut, specifically the case of Derby Savings Bank v. A. McClellan Mathewson et al. The collection consists of a high‑resolution JPEG and a TIFF scan of the original exhibit, titled “Exhibit 1 Attached to Statement of Thomas Phillips.” It is held by the Connecticut State Library and was created by attorney Frederick W. Holden of Ansonia, Connecticut.

Background

The case was heard in the New Haven County Superior Court and is part of the library’s BAAI (Black, African American, and Indigenous History) project, which seeks to preserve and provide access to court records involving African American and Indigenous litigants. The exhibit was prepared by Holden as part of the legal representation for the plaintiff, Derby Savings Bank, and is attached to a statement submitted by Thomas Phillips, a witness or party in the proceedings.

Contents

  • JPEG image (188 KB): A scanned copy of the exhibit, displaying the court header, case caption, and the statement’s attachment notation.
  • TIFF image (65 MB): A lossless, high‑resolution scan of the same page, suitable for archival preservation and detailed examination.
  • Metadata: Descriptive fields include creator, institution, place (Ansonia, Connecticut), subjects (legal documents, superior court, Derby Savings Bank, A. McClellan Mathewson, Thomas Phillips), and language (English).

The exhibit itself contains the formal heading “SUPERIOR COURT – DERBY SAVINGS BANK, VS. A. McCLELLAN MATTHEWSON, ET AL.” followed by the statement reference and the signature block of Frederick W. Holden.

Scope

The collection covers a single court exhibit from the Derby Savings Bank v. Mathewson litigation, dated to the period when Holden represented the bank (exact year not specified). It is geographically bound to Ansonia, Connecticut, and thematically focused on the legal proceedings involving a financial institution and an individual named A. McClellan Mathewson, with ancillary reference to Thomas Phillips. The exhibit is part of a broader set of New Haven County Superior Court files under the BAAI initiative, but the collection itself contains only the scanned exhibit and its associated metadata.
