Abstract:
Plea by G. W. Strong, attorney for the defendants in the case William Hopkins & Jacob Mudge vs John Fleet and Samuel Youngs, Overseers &c. Mudge and Fleet were executors of Thomas Hopkins' will and deny withholding payment from the Oyster Bay Overseers of the Poor. Strong attests that Mudge and Fleet will give evidence that the man whose "maintenance and support" the Overseers of the Poor are demanding payment for was formerly enslaved by Thomas Hopkins, but they obtained a certificate of manumission and had it signed and registered with the Overseers of the Poor.
