A slave woman, Daphney, and her two children, were advertised \"as the property of your petitioner to satisfy\" a writ of fiere facias.  William House, as the highest bidder, offered $262 for Daphney, but he refused to pay the purchase money.  Thus, Daphney had to be placed up for sale again and this time the highest bid was only $215.  Scoggin claims that House owes him the difference.  Scoggin sues for $100 in damages.","subjects":[{"subject":"Purchase\/Sale (enslaved children)"},{"subject":"Diseases (physical)"},{"subject":"Warranty (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Auctions"},{"subject":"Purchase\/Sale prices (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Insolvency"},{"subject":"Family separated (Black)"},{"subject":"Family kept together (Black)"}]}]}
