Review: New York Clipper, 10 April 1869, 6.

“A ‘Court of Justice’ was happily illustrated the past week by the San Francisco Minstrels. It is a new local sketch, and contains some good points, and gives a few not unmerited raps at official and judicial peculiarities. David, the sweet singer, gave a new ballad, one of those plaintive songs which he so well known how to sing.”
