John Foster borrowed $265 from John Fulcher, delivering a slave, Fanny, as security. Foster has been unable to repay the loan, and Fulcher has "taken said girl secretly off and even assures your Orator that he has placed her where your Orator should never hear of her if he did not shortly pay him the afsd. money." Foster is convinced that Fulcher plans to defraud him "by removing himself and property to some very distant part so as to put it out of the power of your Orator to redeem said girl." He asks the court to order Fulcher to produce their written contract, give security that Fanny is available for redemption, or order that the woman be sold to pay off the loan plus interest, deducting the amount due for her hire.
