William Comegys states that he is one of the four persons from whom Isaac Longfellow, "a free mulatto," stole money. He further reports that said Longfellow "was arraigned on an indictment" and was later found guilty of four counts of larceny. Longfellow "was ordered and adjudged" to repay the money and "in default thereof that the said Isaac should be sold" for a term of years. The petitioner states that Longfellow "was struck off to one Samuel Shaw" for $206 for the term of fifteen years. Comegys notes that "after the payment of all costs in the three last mentioned cases there will still remain a considerable balance." He therefore prays that said money "may be divided pro rata in payment of the restitution money awarded in the three last mentioned sentences."
