Jay M Fachion - I live on Gregorys plantation Christ Church Parish S.C. About three months ago I bargained for a horse paid $26 - first - Capt Batcheller told me if I would pay him same he would let me have the horse then he said he would wait for the rest until I made my crop. He said to me "Judy you pay me $54.00 cash and work and he would give me 16 weeks to work it out - he then gave me the horse and I carried him home. I kept him two weeks, I put him first work I worked the horse only one day and 1/2 half - I then went to Capt  Batcheller said he had been kicked in his head - I said Captain why didn't you let me know, I would not have taken him - I asked him to give me the money back - The Captain said I had done no work for him and he wanted me to bring the horse back. I sent three hands to work for Capt  Batcheller whiled I had the horse - these hands worked one day - thats all the work I did until after I carried the horse back, I worked three days at carpenter work since then - Capt Batchellen gave $1.50/day for this work hey hands worked before I ever got the horse & got paid for it
