@nhsc_baai_cases_papers_subject:concept {description: "Subject-index field for New Haven County Superior Court files concerning Black, African American, and Indigenous cases and papers"}We the subscribers being Imprannelled and Sworn as a Jury of Inquest to inquire into the cause of the sudden Death of a Negro Man called Jupiter Servant of Joel Canfield of Wallingford in New Haven County, found lying Dead between the Medoy River so called and P. Canfield's Dwelling House near Howard having Reprance of Dead Body and viewed the same; and having Examined the Circumstances thereof do judge it probable that P. Negro died in a sudden Fit and that his Death was Merely Casual.
