Abstract

Nancy Hubard, a minor, petitions by her next friend, Eusebus Hubard, against Edward Young. Hubard asserts that the said Young "was the owner and master of a certain slave named Hiram, of the value of Twelve hundred dollars." She further alleges that the said Hiram, "with force and arms," did on 13 August 1853 "then and there make an assault" on her with the intent "felloniously to abuse, ravish, and carnally know" her. Contending that "she is damaged to the amount of Twelve hundred dollars," the petitioner prays for judgment. Prior to this petition, Hubbard successfully petitioned for Eusebus to be "appointed her next Friend to Conduct and prosecute said action on behalf of your petitioner."
