I've posted about the first pages in an 1899 court document regarding my Tolchinsky family here and here. Gersh Tolchinsky (half brother of my great-great grandfather Hillel) had debts, and his family's samovars were taken to pay those debts--however this document was entered into evidence to show that Gersh did not own the samovars.
