Trotti explains that he bought two slaves, Henry and Clinton, from Ponder for $2500. Trotti charges that Clinton was of an unsound mind and body, often suffering fits of an "aggravated character" that rendered him a liability.  Trotti asks that Ponder "be decreed to credit thereon the price of said Clinton."</abstract><subjects><subject>Diseases (physical)</subject><subject>Warranty (enslaved)</subject><subject>Purchase/Sale prices (enslaved)</subject></subjects></petition>
