The State against Enloes Philpot.

Whereas, it hath appeard to this Court, upon the affidavit of Jack Tappen, that the Defendant holds a certain Anthony Tappen in Bondage and slavery, without lawful authority for the same as the said Jack alledgeth : therefore, ordered, on motion of Mr. Leake for the said Anthony, that a writ of Habeus Corpus ad faciendum subjiciendum et recipiendum do issue, returnable to this Court at the next term.
