Robert Bentham, Joseph Winthrop, and Arthur Parker, "attornies of John Parker, Junr.," report that John Parker, "in consequence of the Extreme ill state of his Health," sailed to Great Britain, taking with him a fourteen-year-old slave named Elizabeth. The petitioners represent that the said Elizabeth "is exceedingly anxious to Return to her Family & Connexions, all of whom are the property of her Master, the said John Parker, Jr." They therefore pray "that a Special Act might be passed allowing the Said Parker Junr the privilege of again bringing within the Limits of the State, the slave alluded to in this Petition."
Result: Referred to judiciary committee.
