John Bacon is the administrator of the late James Girardeau's estate. In this capacity he was possessed of a slave named Sambo and various other articles of property, totaling $572 in value. In addition to that property, he also came into the possession of bank notes and promissory notes. Bacon contends that he "casually lost" Sambo as well as the other property. The entire property was found in the possession of John McGowen. Bacon alleges that McGowen knows that the property belongs to the estate, but has not surrendered them. Moreover, Bacon claims, McGowen "converted and disposed of them to his own use." Bacon sues for $2,000 in damages.
Result: Granted.
