On 20 June 1859, the court indentured Benjamin Griffith, a free person of color, to Walter Baldwin as an apprentice house servant. Baldwin tells the court that since said indenture he has "been reduced in circumstances and unable to do that justice to the Boy which he otherwise could have done had he not been overtaken by misfortune." Baldwin asks the court to cancel Griffith's indenture and release Baldwin from the contract.
