Summary
Action by plaintiff to recover from the defendant the value of a slave who was put to work as a blacksmith, but who died soon after the defendant purchased him. The defendant refused to pay up on his bond according to the contract of sale. In 1831 Latta had conveyed the slave to the plaintiff in trust to secure and pay certain debts. Donnell was appointed as their agent to hire out the slave and sell him as soon as an opportunity arose. In 1833 the slave was hired out to Forrest, who lived near Hillsborough. The defendant then agreed to pay [dollars] 525 for him and Donnell apprised the plaintiff of the sale. The slave died in 1834 and there was a debate as to his health at the time of the sale. The sale contract included no warranty. Verdict for the plaintiff affirmed.
