Washington contends that, despite performing his duties, Robert "dismissed your petitioner & drove him off from his said farm & plantation & house & would not suffer him to finish & gather in the Same nor would he allow your petitioner to hire a hand in his place to finish & gather in & take care of the said crop but afterwards when the Same was finished & gathered in the said Robert utterly refused" to give him his share of said crops. The petitioner sues for $300 in damages.
