<b>727. DEADBEAT SLAVE OWNERS </b> A neat D.S. 6pp. legal folio, Austin, TX, [n.d., but pre-Civil War], an appeal of one defendant, Trammell, in a case wherein four defendants, Trammell, Dewitt, Watson and Askey, were ordered to either surrender a group of slaves valued at $5,000.00 due to non-payment, or else return the slaves and pay interest on their sale prices. While the other three defendants chose to appeal the ruling, the fourth, Watson, chose instead to pay his portion of the moneys owed and honor the court's ruling. Completely intact, moderate rust stains on several pages, otherwise very good.<b> $75-100</b>
