Francis and Sophia Loockerman state that by a previous order of the court, Daniel Mackey, a free man of color, was "indicted, tried, and convicted of having persuaded, aided and assisted" the escape of their slave, Tom Camper. Mackey was subsequently sold into slavery by the sheriff as punishment. His purchaser, William H. Nabb, paid $955 for Mackey's services on 21 December 1858. The petitioners explain that they "were compelled to pay" a reward for Camper's apprehension, and they ask the court to order the sheriff to reimburse them out of the proceeds of the sale.
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
