Counterclaim from Howard Connell, of St John, for himself, John Poyer Poyer and Julia Howard Griffith, of England, for the whole of the compensation to be applied to the trusts of the will of Wm. Griffith. The award was made to Henry Thornhill and Thomas Went, upon trusts of the will of Wm. Griffith.

T71/564 p. 75: enslaved persons were registered in 1834 by Thomas Went, as the property of Wm. Griffith (deceased).
