"JENNY SLEW of Ipswich, in the County of Essex, Spinster,
Appellant, versus JOHN WHIPPLE, Jr. of said Ipswich,
Gentleman Appellee from the judgment of an Inferior Court of
Common Pleas held at Newburyport within and for the County
of Essex on the last Tuesday of September 1765 when and
where the appellant was plaint., and the appellee was
defendant in a plea of trespass, for that the said John upon
the 29th day of January, A.D. 1762, at Ipswich aforesaid
with force and arms took her the said Jenny held & kept her
in servitude as a slave in his service & has restrained her
of her liberty from that time to the fifth of March 1765
without any lawful right or authority so to do & did other
injuries against the Peace & to the damage of the said Jenny
Slew, as she saith, the sum of twenty-five pounds, at which
Inferior Court, judgment was rendered upon the demurrer then
that the said John Whipple recover against the said Jenny
Slew costs. This appeal was brought forward at the Superior
Court of Judicature &c., holden at Salem, within & for the
County of Essex on the first Tuesday of last November, from
whence it was continued to the last term of this Court for
this County by consent & so from thence unto this Court, and
now both parties appeared & the demurrer aforesaid being
waived by consent & issue joined upon the plea tendered at
said Inferior Court & on file. The case after full hearing
was committed to a jury sworn according to law to try the
same who returned their verdict therein upon oath, that is
to say, they find for appellant reversion of the former
judgment four pounds money damage & costs. It's therefore
considered by the Court, that the former judgment be
reversed & that the said Slew recover against the said
Whipple the sum of four pounds lawful money of this Province
damage & costs taxed 9_l._ 9_s._ 6_d._
