Petition #21184406

Abstract

Hannah, a woman of color, reminds the court that she sought permission to sue as a poor person to establish her right to freedom ten days ago. She reveals that the court granted her prayer but dismissed her said suit "on account of some informality in the proceedings." The petitioner informs the court that since that time Pitcher has treated her "with great cruelty severity and oppression." Believing that Pitcher will continue with the "same severe and oppressive treatment" on account of this application, she again asks "that she may be brought up by hon court under the seal of said Court and dealt with as directed by statute."

Result: Petition granted; plea of trespass filed.
