1848-002: John Craig vs. Robert Harvey

Scope and content:

John Craig requested an injunction to prevent the opening of new stone quarry (for construction of Turnpike Road). Two existing quarries were already an immediate danger to his family and the enslaved people on his property due to falling rocks and Craig claimed the new quarry would mean his blacksmith shop would be "blown to bits." An injunction was issued but the case was dismissed once a settlement was reached.
