Case: Goff v Kilts (1836) 15 Wend. 550
Plaintiff: Kilts, who is an owner of bees. He is the respondent on appeal. He is represented by J. A. Seeber.

The second part of the brief is the facts of the case. This is the summary or background that led to this particular dispute.

Included in this is a brief statement of the plaintiff’s argument and the defendant’s argument.
