The debt arose from a note executed by Deslond in Gaillard’s favor in October 1836, payable in January 1837.  Gaillard claims that, so far, Deslond has paid him $301.15 in the form of ten bales of cotton and $210.96 in the form of thirty barrels of molasses.  The balance remains unpaid.  Gaillard therefore prays that Deslond be directed to pay the debt, with 10% interest, minus the amount of the two credits.</abstract><subjects><subject>Property owners (Black)</subject><subject>Crops (Cotton)</subject></subjects></petition>
