John Apil-Onek was found guilty in the native court of adultery with the wife of Okeng. This was an application for revision for the trial Jago court's judgment, which was reversed by the county court and on appeal to the central court was quashed and the Jago court judgment restored. The ground upon which the High court was asked to make a revisional order is that the applicant, having been acquitted by the county court, had no right of appeal from an acquittal to the central Native Court bases on customary law.

Before the houses on 1510 and 1520 Hill Street were operated as Luther Coop, they were owned by John Sinclair, a left wing radical known for his founding of the White Panthers, later the Rainbow People's Party, a mostly white organization founded to provide support to the Black Panthers. Noteworthy tenants of 1510-1520 were Sinclair himself, whose politically charged arrest for marijuana possession led to the first Hash Bash and the (temporary) decriminalization of marijuana in Michigan, Pun Plamondon, who bombed a CIA office in Ann Arbor, and the band MC5, who pioneered hard rock in the 1960's. The bombing charges against Plamondon were dropped when it was revealed that the Nixon White House had illegally wiretapped their Hill Street residence, paving the way for a Supreme Court ruling outlawing federal wiretaps without a warrant.
