Petition #20885423

Abstract

Peter Kelly, a carpenter, seeks to recover a debt of $156.35 from Honoré Roth, a free man of color. Kelly represents that, at some point earlier in the current year, Roth hired him to build a house and agreed to pay $250. Kelly claims that he built the house in a “good and workman like manner,” which required him to supply extra lumber and cabin hooks, and to provide extra services, all of which added $13.65 to the original cost. He now contends to have received only $107.30 from Roth for his work. The balance of $156.35 remains unpaid. He therefore prays for an order directing Roth to pay the debt with interest “thereon” from judicial demand.

Result: Granted.
