Archibald C. Esselman, the guardian of Robin Butcher, an "insane" free man of color, asks the court to enjoin Susan P. Wall "from further molesting him in the peaceable possession of said Robin." Esselman alleges that Wall "aided by Godred Webb and John Thorpe has attempted by force to take said Robin out of the possession of your Orator, with the purpose and intent, as your Orator is informed and believes, to run the said Robin off, and sell him as a slave." Esselman "apprehends great danger" that Wall and her agents will be successful, and he seeks the court's intervention.
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
