David Harp claims that he is the security on two loans executed by John Roy. In exchange, Roy mortgaged a slave woman named Esther for Harp's security. But Harp charges that "Roy with a view of practicing a fraud on him and other of his creditors" has left the county and is about to remove his property, including Esther. To complicate matters, Roy has executed a deed of gift to Thompson Roy for all his property, and James Davy also claims ownership of Esther. Harp charges that the three have conspired to keep Esther from him; he asks the court to take her into custody until further order of the court.
Result: Dismissed.
