Clause 13 allowed prosecution for cruel wounding, mutilation, or confinement without support. Where the enslaver was convicted, a court could order the person sold to another buyer or declare them free; it could also direct a portion of a fine toward their maintenance.

(Consolidated Slave Act, clause(s) 13.)
