Hadden Smith asks permission to export and sell term slaves Rose and Daniel in Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, or Georgia. Rose is in jail for attempting to burn down his house, Smith explains, and is suspected of murdering his infant son. Daniel is in jail for conspiring with Rose to commit arson. Smith argues that "his own safety and the Public good requires, that an example should be made of these slaves to terrify others from the commission of such crimes and misdemeanours."
