- Description:
- The document discusses the famous brick kiln decision made by Judge C.B. Kilgore in the United States Court for the southern district of the Indian Territory. The case involved a dispute between a brick maker named Brown and a firm of merchants named Robinson and Fields. Judge Kilgore ruled in favor of both parties, finding the merchants had a valid claim for goods and services provided, and also ruling in favor of Brown for the amount of bricks he claimed to have made. Kilgore also criticized the merchants for taking the law into their own hands and awarded additional bricks to Brown as compensation for their trespass. The case was eventually settled out of court.
