Miscellaneous legal documents from Roger Taney's Frederick, Maryland law practice, primarily from 1805-1812. Several documents concern a slave's petition for freedom because he had gone from a slave state (Maryland) to a free state (Pennsylvania); Taney apparently represented the petitioner. Other case documents concern matters such as slander, trespass and debt.
