He claims that he "casually lost" a slave named Jane, who came into the possession of John Rus "by finding."  Paulett claims that Rus knew that Jane belonged to him, in his position as administrator, but has refused to deliver her.  Paulett says that Jane is valued at $400 and he is suing for $800 in damages.  He asks for intervention on his behalf.</abstract><subjects><subject>Title dispute (enslaved)</subject><subject>Assessed Value (enslaved)</subject><subject>Casually lost</subject></subjects></petition>
