Abstract
James Thomson recounts that "his Mollato Man Sam absconded himself" in 1811 "after which he was taken and lodged in Newbury Gaol." Thomson, unable to retrieve said slave in a timely fashion, reports that said slave "was by the Sheriff or Jailor of said Gaol ... sold at public or otherwise made sale of." He further states that "after Deducting expences of Confinement Commissions & costs Mr R. Boyce [sheriff] paid over the Balance into the Treasury of the state." Thomson therefore "Humbly prays that he may have the said ballance paid unto him."
Result: Referred to claims committee; granted.
