Juan Ygnacio de Egaña, acting “as Liquidator of the Commercial firm" of Wylie and Egaña, and on behalf of his two partners, Alexander H. Wylie and Manuel Julien de Lizardi, claims that Frame Alexander Woods, a sugar planter, is indebted to the firm in the sum of $4,665.95 plus interest, at 8% per annum. Egaña represents that, in March 1847, the firm of Wylie and Egaña promised to loan Woods certain sums of money, the total not to exceed $5,200. Woods bound himself, in return, to reimburse principal and interest in March of every year. In addition, Woods contracted to consign to the firm, for sale, his yearly production of sugar and molasses. The loans were secured by a mortgage on Woods’s plantation and his thirty slaves. Egaña now claims that Woods has failed to consign his 1848 production of sugar and molasses to the firm and has neglected to pay the balance of his account, “altho amicably requested.” Egaña therefore prays that Woods be condemned to pay the debt, which stands at $4,665.95, and that the plantation and slaves be sold to satisfy the claim.
Result: Granted.
