The Old Court/New Court controversy begins: The legislature of the Commonwealth of Kentucky passes the Reorganization Act, repealing the Replevin (Stay) Act, dissolving the Court of Appeals that had been created five years previous by an anti-relief party legislature, and establishing an entirely new Court of Appeals with four justices, all with Relief Party leanings.
NOTE: Instead of acquiescing to the new reality, the anti-relief/pro-banker Old Court refused to turn over its records to the pro-relief/anti-banker New Court, and instead continued to meet in Frankfort. The State now had two supreme appellate courts which refused to recognize the legitimacy of the other.
