I came across this article yesterday while waiting for car maintenance, and although that business' wifi-connection was blocked for wikipedia edits, the stub-class article rankled. Probably, I should not have started this revision today while waiting for a windows update to complete, because both the historical triage took much longer than expected, and while I got that laptop working better this morning than Saturday and yesterday, the restart proved a blue screen of death (and the update check on this laptop has now failed, so I have no idea when I'll be able to do much more wikipedia editing on this article). Since this library (and its associated libraries) lacks access to Brent Tarter's 2016 book (excerpts of which I reviewed online and cited), much less the legal volumes to finish needed cites about the coupon cases, the result is far from final. I hope others can bring this article up to snuff, since this particular Judge Staples was a very influential lawyer in late-19th century Virginia.Jweaver28 (talk) 20:04, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
