Madison County SNP Records: Court Proceedings
Description
An account of the resource
The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Madison County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.

The Court instructs the jury that the exclusive possession of
recently stolen property unaccompanied by a reasonable account of how the
possession of the stolen property was acquired,
creates a presumption that the
possessor is the one who stole the property, and if you find from the evidence,
beyond a reasonable doubt that Matthew Barber was in exclusive possession of
the batteries recently stolen from Joseph Kimmel and that Matthew Barber has
not given a reasonable account of the possession of the batteries,
find the said Barber guilty of larceny.
