Asa Thompson charges that Ephraim Talley refuses to return a six-year-old slave named Bill, whom he "casually lost" out of his possession. Thompson asks the court to compel Talley to return the slave or to order him to compensate the petitioner for the slave's value of five hundred dollars. He also asks the court to order a writ of sequestration to prevent Talley from removing Bill beyond the court's jurisdiction.
