John H. Woodcock, physician, sues Peacham Alford and his wife E. H. Alford for payment of services and medicines rendered to them and to their slaves. Woodcock informs the court that Peacham is insolvent, but E. H. has her own separate estate which includes slaves and personal property. He asks the court to allow him to attach the debt to a mulatto woman named Noah or Naomie and a carriage valued at about $700. Woodcock prays that the court will allow him to seize this property to satisfy his debt.
Result: Granted.
