Petition #20184822

Abstract

George W. Wilson states that on or about 27 January 1848, John Hardie and Thomas W. White sued John Yarbrough for $621.90. On 2 February 1848, Isaac Hudson sued Yarbrough for $184.15. To settle the debts, a levy was placed upon three slaves held by Yarbrough. Wilson entered into bond as security for Yarbrough for double the amount of the two sums. The petitioner states that the bonds have been mislaid and cannot be found. After the execution of the bonds, Yarbrough regained possession of the slaves. Wilson charges Yarbrough with the fraudulent intent of fleeing the state, thus leaving the petitioner owing the entire sum of the bonds. Wilson asks the court to either award him custody of the slaves, or if they cannot be located, other compensation from the estate.

Result: Dismissed.
