Richard Graves seeks to collect a debt from George Depassau. Graves represents that Captain George Depassau is indebted to him for $29, the balance due on a judgment he obtained in his favor "against the sd Depassau." Graves prays that Depassau pay the debt plus interest and costs of the suit. A related document reveals that the dispute between the two men initially arose when Graves traded a female slave for two of Depassau's young male slaves. Depassau claimed that the female slave he had received from Graves was in fact "unsound," while his two young slaves were worth $450 each. He sued Graves for fraudulent representation. The suit was discontinued and Graves was allowed to recover costs.
