BINNS VS SIBYL BECKWITH (M6818) 1828

On 1 January 1820 BINNS wanted to hire a Negro woman. He met with Jennings BECKWITH who was the son of Sibyl and it was decided that the slave woman Alcey would be the one to go to work for BINNS. BECKWITH assured BINNS that the woman was sound and healthy and not pregnant. A price of $30.00 was set. Her hire was good until 25 December of that year. Soon afterward it was discovered that Alcey was preg. And was soon unfit for labor. BINNS complained to BECKWITH who basically said too bad and indicated that BINNS would have to support Alcey and pay the midwife's fee.
