Petition #20183909

Abstract

As a result of a suit initiated by Phillip Weaver against Middleton Moseley, Constable Joseph Wells of Perry County levied on two slaves, Daniel and his wife, Anny. Clement Moseley, the petitioner, says that the slaves are his property and that he gave bond for the recovery of his slaves. Clement Moseley further charges that Wells and Weaver "have combined & confederated to defraud your petitioner out of the amount of said executions and for that purpose have counseled said negroes to runaway together with one other of your petitioner's slaves by representing to them that they are free." Daniel has since returned, but the other two slaves are still missing. Moseley seeks an injunction preventing Wells from proceeding against him or his security, Mary Tillman.

Result: Dismissed.
