| Summary: | A case concerning an action to recover the costs of work done by the plaintiff, J. B. Le Duff, on the grounds that the work (kettle setting and constructing a chimney) was unsatisfactory. Testimony from the defendant includes the fact that part of the reason he had employed J. B. Le Duff, a free man of colour, was that 'it was easier to get along with him, a man of colour and well known, than with white men (American) who did not behave well'.
