{"value"=>"<p>This series contains correspondence, legal documents, memoranda, and printed matter relating to Carlson's cases that did not involve a prison abuse investigation or a General Law Amendment, Communism, or Terrorism Act charge. The majority of this series, which is arranged chronologically, pertains to the earliest years of Carlson's legal career, when he worked on a variety of discrete matters. <span class=\"title\">Regina v. Solomon Matlapeng and Others</span>, 1955 - 1957, for example, concerns an assault accusation and tribal dispute, and <span class=\"title\">Sara Davids v. Lothian Court (Proprietary) Limited</span>, 1958, concerns a garbage issue. Several cases in this series demonstrate Carlson's advocacy for victims of apartheid. Farm Labor Scheme Cases include materials pertaining to Innocent Langa, the letters and memoranda Carlson authored to oppose the scheme, and news clippings revealing the public's reaction. <span class=\"title\">Ben Hlatshwayo and Joseph Ndhlovu v. Morgenzon Municipality</span>, 1958 - 1959, details the matter of two successful black businessmen whose residential permits were arbitrarily revoked by a disgruntled white Location Superintendent.</p>"}
