We have this day received information that
a negro my family found to John Stewart and by him transferred to some
person in Liverpool has lately been carried off to the West Indies, left
bound to some person there.
The hand Jury earnestly request the Worship
full bench would write to the Justices in Liverpool for information on
his subject, as a transition of this nature in its hundred of illegality
of ? will be production of much injury to the community in preventing
the negroes from binding out their children their children in future.
