Zénon represents that, in 1853, he sold a “bay horse” to Seldon for the sum of $60.  Seldon agreed to pay cash for his purchase, but he has so far “neglected and refused” to do so.  Zénon therefore prays for a judgment against Seldon in the sum of $60 with “legal interest from judicial demand.”</abstract><subjects><subject>FPOC sues FPOC</subject><subject>Property owners (Black)</subject></subjects></petition>
