Twenty-one citizens of Shelby County complain that "there are large droves of Negroes being brought into our County for sale Contrary to law." They therefore pray "your honorable body that the law be so amended as to make it the duty of the Sheriff Constables and Grand Jurors to Prosecute any and every person who brings Slaves into our state for sale."
Result: Rejected.
Or you may view all people.
