John Connelly alleges that James P. Poythress owes $43.50 to him. Poythress promised to pay him for the reasonable worth of the services of the slave Poythress hired from him. In addition, Connelly claims he provided services as a physician to Poythress's children. This debt, like that for the slave's hire, has gone unpaid. Connelly sues for $87 in damages.
