Hendrickson states that she exhibited "a degree of cunning and management, which evince a character & disposition of the most dangerous kind." The petitioner notes that the attorney general has already decided "that from the youth of the said Julia Ann, a prosecution for a capital offence had better not be instituted, as a conviction could scarcely be expected of one of so tender an age."Purchase/Sale (enslaved children)Jails/WorkhousesPoisoning Destruction of propertyWhippingPurchase/Sale prices (enslaved)
