    1. [FLJACKSO] COURT FILES
    2. Bobby: This is what I found on David Johnson of Emanuel Co. GA. Emanuel County, Georgia. DAVID JOHNSON alleges that HUGH McLANE took MIKE, a slave belonging to the petitioner, without JOHNSON's consent or knowledge. McLANE then forced Mike "to go upon a raft on the big river which raft sunk and plunged" MIKE into the cold waters. McLANE compelled MIKE to stay in the water searching for a lost canoe. The lengthy sojourn in the water resulted in MIKE becoming ill and being unable to work for JOHNSON for the space of two months. JOHNSON believes that he has been deprived of $100.00 worth of work from MIKE during those two months and asks the court to order McLANE to pay $100.00 in damages. 1821 #20682104 DAVE FOREHAND ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
