Abstract

John C. Kennedy claims that he is the owner of a female slave named Sabry, valued at $800. He relates that he "casually lost" the slave, who came into the possession of Jeptha Harris. Kennedy claims that Harris knew that the slave belonged to him, but with intent to deceive, "converted and disposed the said Negro Woman Slave to his own use." Kennedy sues for $1,000 in damages.

Result: Partially granted.
