Ava Culliatt, widow of Adam Culliatt, represents that her husband, a blacksmith, was "a trooper in the Jacksonborough troop of horses" and that he "was ordered out in a detachment of the said troop ... in pursuit of a party of negro slaves, who had recently committed a murder in the neighbourhood." Culliatt laments that her "said husband was unfortunately, while on that service, killed by his horse, whereby your petitioner and her infant child are deprived of their only support." The petitioner, "confiding in the legallity of her claim, as sanctioned by the eighth paragraph of the Act for the better ordering and governing Negroes, but, yet more in the justice and humanity of this Honorable House," prays for relief.
Result: Referred to committee.
