Thomas Houghton claims that he is the owner of three slaves, Willey, Sarah and Asa, valued at $1,500 collectively. He "casually lost" the three slaves in May 1814; they ended up in the possession of Titus G. F. Crawford "by finding." Houghton alleges that Crawford knew that the slaves belonged to him, but with intent to deceive, "converted and disposed of Said Negroes of the value aforesaid to his own proper use." He claims $2,000 damages, and asks that Crawford appear at the next Superior Court to answer "an action of Trover and Conversion &c."
