K. Wilson claims that John Noland is indebted to him in the sum of $900.  He represents that he was hired as overseer on Noland’s plantation on the 1st of January 1840, at the rate of $100 per month, and “faithfully discharged” his duties for nine months, for which Noland owes him $900.  He contends, however, that Noland refuses to pay, although “amicably demanded.”  He therefore seeks an order of the court condemning Noland to pay the $900.</abstract><subjects><subject>Overseers</subject><subject>Crops (sugar)</subject><subject>Management (enslaved)</subject></subjects></petition>
