Halleck, Peachy & Billings
Halleck, Peachy & Billings was one of the leading early law firms in San Francisco, California and specialized in land cases. The firm was organized by Frederick H. Billings and Archibald Carey Peachy in 1849, who were joined soon after by Henry Wager Halleck. Halleck, Peachy & Billings was employed by claimants in the settlement of titles to Mexican land grants.〔(Guide to the Halleck, Peachy & Billings Records, 1852-1867 )〕 The firm dissolved in 1861 after Halleck returned to military life and left California.
==History==
The firm handled more than half of the land claim cases in California immediately following the enaction of the Land Act of 1851.〔Leonard Pitt, Ramon A. Gutierrez, 1999,''Decline of the Californios: A Social History of the Spanish-Speaking Californias, 1846-1890'', University of California Press,ISBN 978-0-520-21958-8〕 Although Halleck wrote the land title report that helped draft the Land Act of 1851, he did not support the Land Commission, and the firm of Halleck, Peachy & Billings defended many land titles against the Commission. It has been said that Halleck handled the preparation of the briefs for the cases, Peachy the oratory, and that Billings brought in the business. In 1853 Halleck built the Montgomery Block in San Francisco, and the partnership became permanently located there.〔(Site of The Montgomery Block (Landmark 80) )〕 The firm was dissolved in 1861.〔( Inventory of the Halleck, Peachy & Billings Collection, 1837-1861 )〕
