Petition #20682006

Abstract

Robert W. W. Winne claims that he was the owner of a male slave named John, valued at $1,000, whom he "casually lost" in 1819. He contends that John came into the possession of one Willis B. Reeves and that, the latter well knowing that John belonged to him, kept the slave with intent to deceive. Winne further contends that Reeves "converted and disposed of Said negro to his own use." Winne sues Reeves for $1,000 in damages.
