Petition #20184414

Abstract

George J. S. Walker, executor of Uriah G. Mitchell's will, states that Billups Gayle and William Bower, merchants in Mobile, owe Mitchell's estate $35,000. Bower secured the debt with a deed of mortgage to Mitchell for over seventy slaves and several tracts of land. Walker states that "default was made in the payments thereof whereby the legal estate and interests of the said Uriah G. Mitchell of and in the said mortgaged premises and slaves and their increase became absolute in law." He therefore asks the court to foreclose on the mortgage and order a full accounting of the slaves and their increase in order to sell them and the other property.

Result: Granted.
