Partenay reminds the court that he is currently involved in a suit with John H. Weber concerning "an action of Replevin for three negroes."  Partenay does not believe that he can receive a fair trial in Washington County because "John H. Weber has an undue influence over the minds of the inhabitants of said County."  The petitioner therefore prays for a change of venue.</abstract><subjects><subject>Theft of enslaved</subject></subjects></petition>
