Saul, "the property of Geo Kelly Esqr," represents that "in the beginning of the late War, that gave America Independence, your Petitioner shouldered his musket and repaired to the American Standard Regardless of the Invitation trumpeted forth by British Proclamation, for the slaves to Emancipate themselves by becoming the assassins of their owners." He further asserts that he served in two capacities: "in the American Army, as a Soldier, In the British Army, as a spy." Saul submits that "in this double profession, your petitioner flatters himself that he rendered essential service to his Country." He therefore hopes "the Legislators of a Republick will take his case in consideration and not suffer him any longer to remain a transferable property."
Result: Reasonable.
