Culver and John Jay, Esqs., were counsel for the slaves. The
merchants and others of New York subscribed and paid Mr.
Lemmon the sum of $5,280, for loss of his slaves. The New
York _Journal of Commerce_ was very active in raising this
money. The same men were invited to contribute something for
the destitute men, women, and children claimed by Lemmon. The
whole amount given by them all, was two dollars. About one
thousand dollars were raised for them among the better
disposed but less wealthy class.
