Petition #20284602

Abstract

Richard Wilson asks the court to suspend the execution of a six-hundred-dollar judgment against him won by William Gentry and others. In 1843 one John Wilson borrowed six hundred dollars from Gentry, putting up a slave named Robert as security. In 1845, Gentry sold the mortgage on the slave to Richard Wilson, the petitioner. However, Richard Wilson soon discovered that one Abasalom Fowler had won a judgment against gentry and obtained a levy on Robert to satisfy the judgment. The petitioner asks that the defendants be prevented from selling Robert as it is his desire to have Robert sold "to pay the aforesaid sum of six hundred dollars interest due your Orator." In the interim, Wilson asks that Robert be hired out.
