Enos as Burdno by his
attoney complains of Benjamin Bonneville
of a plea of trespass on the case for that
whereas the said defendant heretofore to wit
on the first day of June in the year 1835
at the County aforesaid was indebted to the
said Enos in the sum of One thousand
dollars for the work and labor case and
diligence of the said Enos by him the said
Enos before that time alone performed and
bestowed in and about the business of
the said Bonneville and for the said
Bonneville and at his special instance
and request and being so indebted he the said
Bonneville in consideration thereof afterward
to wit upon the day and year last aforesaid
at the County aforesaid undertook and then
and there faithfully promises the said Enos
to pay him the said sum of One thousand
dollars when he the said Bonneville should
he thereunto afterwards requested. Let the
said Bonneville although often requested has
not yet paid the said sum of money or
any part thereof to said Enos but to do
the same has hitherto wholly neglected &
refused & still doth neglect & refuse to the
damage of said Enos one thousand dollars
& therefore he sues & c

Before me archibald Gam
ble clerk of the Circuit Court for said County
personally appeared Enos Burdno the plaintiff
in the within declaration I made oath that
Benjamin B. Bonneville the defendant named
in said declaration is justly indebted to him
in the sum of Two hundred & fifty dollars
of a real & unsatified debt being a
part of the same sum and due to him for
the same cause of action in said declara

tion set forth that said Bonneville is not
a resident of this State, and does not, so
far as this affiant knows, own or possess
any real or personal Estate therein that
said Bonneville is engaged in the fur trade
passing the greater portion of his time in
the Indian County beyond the limits of any
particular State, or territory of the United States
& beyond the reach of civil process & that
this affiant verily believes unless said Bonne

ville is held to bail in a sum sufficient
to secure the payment of said debt together
with costs of suit- he will be in danger
of losing the same.
