List of Expenses for the Trial of a Maryland Slave Found Guilty

Approximately 12” x 7 ¾” on gray paper, the document reads:

“In compliance with the act of Assembly of Maryland of 1854 chap 269, I hereby certify & return to the County Commissioners for Frederick County, the costs & expenses incurred in this county, on the trial of Thomas E Myers, Negro slave for a term of years at the October Term 1857, and removed to this county from Carroll County. A judgment of Guilty was rendered in the case & the party was sentenced to the Penitentiary for two years & six months."

The document contains a detailed lsit of costs of the part of the State and costs on the part of the prisoner.

"I further certify that the above named Negro slave Thomas E. Myers; the property for a term of years of Samuel G. Davis of Carroll County is valued in the said Circuit Court for Frederick County at the Sum of $275 for his unexpired term of Servitude. In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe my name and affix the seal of the Circuit Court for Frederick, this 18th day of May 1858. B.G Fitzgerald, Clk of the Circuit Court for Frederick County."

Fine piece of slave history and certainly worthy of more research.
