Richard Clayton states that his slave William is so "turbulent and unruly" that he is unmanageable. Clayton further recounts that William has run away on numerous occasions, has assaulted one of his slaves "heavy with child, and nearly bit off one of her fingers," and has threatened "to beat out my brains if I attempted to correct him." William is now in jail, and, since he cannot be sold in the neighborhood, Clayton asks to sell him out of the state.
Result: Granted.
