Beckwith contends that Dannor has not paid him the $300 owed, even though Winney has paid Dannor \"greatly upwards\" of $300 towards her freedom.  Citing Dannor's refusal to pay, the petitioner asks that Dannor be subpoenaed and be compelled to pay $300, plus interest since the date of the sale.","subjects":[{"subject":"Purchase of freedom"},{"subject":"Assessed Value (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Purchase\/Sale prices (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Purchased for emancipation "}]}]}
