Harris assured Peeples that Will would be "an excellent plantation hand."  However, the slave "proved himself to be lazy rougueish &amp; unfaithful in every respect."  There have been several runaway incidents.  Peeples contends that Harris knew of Will's "evil" character but has refused any compensation to Peeples.  The latter asks for intervention on his behalf.</abstract><subjects><subject>Freedom seekers</subject><subject>Warranty (enslaved)</subject><subject>Purchase/Sale prices (enslaved)</subject></subjects></petition>
