With the court requiring proof, Hutchinson referred to an agreement made between Foxcroft and Stevens and now in the hands of Mr. Edward Ashby, who brought it to court. In the document Stevens obliged himself to sell the sloop, but only if several conditions had been performed by Foxcroft. After examining the case, the court found that no bill of sale had been made--only a conditional agreement which had not been performed. Ordered that Read deliver the half part of the sloop to Hutchinson with the costs of the suit. Since Read alleged that the sloop was now out of the county in the possession of Foxcroft, he was given three months to deliver it.
