The "free negro boy" Stephen Bordly was bound to John Caples as an apprentice on 19 July 1858. Caples claims to have treated Bordly well, but the apprentice "ran off on the 21st of May last, without any provocations & was apprehended at Queenstown." Caples asks to have Bordly's term of service extended "so as to remunerate him for expenses [and] loss of time."
Result: Granted.
