Abstract
James C. Bowler claims that he is the owner of five slaves, whom he "casually lost." They were found in the hands of Morgan Mara. Bowler alleges that Mara knew that the slaves belonged to him, but with intent to deceive, "converted and disposed of the said negro slaves to his own proper use, to the damage of your petitioner two thousand dollars." Bowler asks that Mara be compelled to appear at the next Superior Court session to answer the allegations.
Result: Denied; appealed.
