William Cotton claims that he is the owner of Anne, a slave valued at $450, and "feather bed and furniture" worth $50. He "did Casually loose" his property, including Anne, who ended up in the possession of Littleton Long "by finding." Cotton contends that Long knew that the property belonged to him, but that he converted and disposed of it for his own purposes. He claims damages of $500, and asks that Long appear at the next Superior Court session to answer his action of trover and conversion.
