Petition #20681406

Abstract

On 20 April 1813, Samuell Jones "casually lost" Reuben, a slave valued at $600. Joel Terrell came into possession of the slave "by finding." Jones alleges that Terrell "deceived and defrauded" him by keeping Reuben, well knowing that it was his, meaning Jones's, property. Jones claims damages of $2,000, and asks that Terrell appear at the next Superior Court session to answer "an action of Trover and Conversion."

Result: Partially granted.
