William Evans agreed to "leave his crop & plantation" in Georgia and go to South Carolina to attend to William Smith's "business and his negroes on said farm in the capacity of overseer." Evans and Smith further agreed that Smith would pay Evans $15 per month and would tend to Evans's crops in his absence. Evans performed his duties, but Smith failed to protect Evans's crop. Evans contends that Smith is "liable to pay your petitioner for the loss & destruction of said crop & abuse & loss of his stock." Evans sues for $150 in damages.
