Abstract
Dr. Henry Daret seeks compensation from Captain A. G. Gray for harboring his runaway slaves aboard his boat, the Steamer Eldorado. Daret represents that his mulatto slave Enos, his wife Phillis, and their two children, Rosette and Perrine, were found and arrested on board the Eldorado at Balize in the parish of Plaquemines. Daret claims that the slaves had been received aboard the Eldorado the day before without his consent. He therefore prays that the court will order Gray to pay $400 for the depreciation in the value of his slaves, plus an additional $45.25 for telegraphic dispatches, public notices and jail fees.
Result: Denied; appealed; reversed.
