This chapter considers fostering and pawning relationships to have been adjacent or contiguous relationships in the southeastern Gold Coast in the nineteenth century, because people described a situation under dispute through these different relationships: they were similar enough in some of their shared rules and norms that people could argue that a particular situation was one or the other. The chapter highlights how people in the colonial Gold Coast imagined fosterage to be both distinct from and similar to pawning. It discusses three court cases that hinge directly on the nature of a person's belonging to others and come from the Civil Commandant's Court in Ussher Town, Accra, in the early 1870s and were ruled on by various people appointed as magistrates or by the Commandant himself. Keywords:debt pawning; fosterage; nineteenth century; southeastern Gold Coast
