Abstract
William Tarlton, "a black man, who is admitted by the Court here to sue in this behalf as a poor person, complains of Jacob Horine of a plea of trespass with force and arms." Tarlton charges that Horine did "unlawfully beat wound and abuse, take, enslave and imprison" him. The petitioner further reveals that he was "deprived of his liberty there for a long time," from 1 May 1813 until 24 September 1813, "without any reasonable and lawful cause, and against the laws of this Territory." Stating that Horine committed "other outrages on him ... against the peace of the United States of America," Tarlton cites $1,000 in damages.
Result: Partially granted.
