    Letter from John McDonald to James B. Finley

    No full text
    Five counties -- Franklin, Pickaway, Ross, Pike and Scioto -- have formed a literary society named the Logan Historical Society. One of the objects of the Society is to erect a monument in memory of the Mingo Chief Logan, and secondly to collect material for a history of the early pioneers. McDonald has been selected by the Society as editor of the book which will be written. McDonald marvels that he has become an author at 60 years of age, stating that a special providence sent Finley to him. He would never have become an author without the encouragement of Finley. Rev. David Reed continues to have a good ministry among the people. Finally, McDonald is critical of the Ladies Repository because the articles are rather grave and philosophical for such a title.

    No full text
    Dr. Henry Wilkins [1767-1847, author of revised version of John Wesley\u27s Primitive Physic for an American audience, The Family Adviser, first edition 1793] writes to Finley concerning medicine among the Wyandots. Do they use medicine or prescribe drugs? What are the diseases they suffer? Is their medical knowledge learned from ancestors or from Europeans? If they do have effective medicines, Wilkins wants to know about it. He writes that prevention is always better than trying to cure a disease. He provides advice on prevention (bark, bitters, calomel, etc.) and medical recipes. Abstract Number - 681https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1775/thumbnail.jp

    The Congressional Resurrection of Supplemental Jurisdiction in the Post-Finley Era

    No full text
    Pendent and ancillary jurisdiction are necessary judicial creations for the just and efficient adjudication of lawsuits in an increasingly complex and overburdened court system. In Finley v. United States, however, the United States Supreme Court threatened the viability of these doctrines by requiring explicit congressional authorization for the exercise of extrajurisdictional power. Realizing Finley\u27s negative import, Congress alleviated the Supreme Court\u27s threat within a year and a half of the decision. In enacting section 1367 of Title 28 of the United States Code, Congress supplied the federal courts with the express legislative authorization required by Finley. Expanding the federal courts\u27 pre-Finley pendent and ancillary powers in some regards and restricting them in others, Congress regularized and clarified many of the doctrines\u27 prior inconsistencies. This Note examines Congress\u27 post-Finley resurrection of federal extra-jurisdictional power. After reviewing the development of pendent and ancillary jurisdiction and exploring Finley\u27s practical implications, the Note analyzes the new uniform framework of supplemental jurisdiction under section 1367. The author then proposes a scheme of statutory interpretation that would ensure that parties and claims are joined in a consistent manner. Such a construction also would aid federal courts in effectuating Congress\u27 objective: the fair and efficient use of the judicial system
