John Hudson was the owner of three slaves, Betty, Peggy and a child, valued at $2,000, collectively. On 1 December 1811, he "casually lost" them, and they ended up in the possession of Alexander Forrester. Hudson alleges that Forrester knew that the slaves belonged to him, but with intent to deceive, "convert[ed] them to his own proper use." Hudson claims $2,000 in damages.
