C.Adam Johnson, a male slave, states that George Clarke agreed to manumit him for $350 and gave him three years to raise the money. Johnson has paid part of the sum, but Clarke has begun "to harass your said orator by expressions of great dissatisfaction that your orator does not pay him more rapidly." Johnson fears Clarke will "dispose of your orator into foreign parts and thereby deprive him of the means of obtaining his manumission." Johnson asks the court to subpoena Clarke and issue an injunction against him.owner(s)/citizens manumit/free slavePurchase of freedomVirtually free (enslaved)Purchase/Sale prices (enslaved)Family separated (Black)
