Abstract

Willis Green claims that James and Robert McGregor, owners of the steamboat "Cincinnati," permitted his slave Ben to board their boat and then transported him to Pittsburgh. He has not been able to recover the slave and asks that the McGregors be restrained from removing the "Cincinnati" or their other boat, the "Montezuma," from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, until further order of the court and that "said boats be attached to answer the demand of your orator for the value of said slave & his hire & damages for carrying him away."
