On 8 May 1810, Zimri Tait "casually lost" a slave named Phil, who ended up in the possession of Isaac McLendon, "by finding." Tait alleges that the defendant knew that Phil belonged to him, but "converted and disposed of the said negro to his own use to the damage of your petitioner nine hundred dollars." Tait asks that McLendon be compelled to appear and answer his allegations at the next Superior Court session.
Result: Settled.
