Charged with stealing of a slave belonging to the estate of James Darwin, John F. Martin was taken before Austin County Chief Justice John H. Money. He was released after two men, including John Darwin, a relative of the deceased, signed security for a three-thousand-dollar bond. Martin fled to Louisiana and failed to appear at the next court session. John Darwin, a man in "moderate Circumstances" and head of a family, asks to be relieved from the liability of the bond.
