Isaac J. Carter and Thomas J. Privatt seek an injunction restraining John J. Underwood and Maston Folsom from foreclosing upon a $600-promissory note made by Carter as payment for a slave named Charlotte. Claiming that Charlotte was "of weak body and habit unsound and unhealthy both of body and mind" and that she was "entirely valueless," the petitioners ask the court to set aside the promissory note and void the contract between Folsom and Carter, as the slave's condition caused "an absolute and entire failure of the consideration for which the said described promissory note was given."
Result: Denied.
