Abstract

Fanchonette, a free woman of color, presents to the court that Isabella Hawkins, also a free woman of color, has illegally taken possession of her two calves, had them branded with the letter "IH," and marked with "crosses and slits" in the right ear, all of which "under the pretense of laying claim" to the said calves. Fanchonette, who alleges that she is the "true and only legal owner & proprietor" of the two eighteen-month-old black and white calves, assesses the value of her loss at $55 and is seeking the court's help in recovering damages in that amount from Isabella Hawkins.

Result: Granted; upheld.
