In February 1820, John Kirby loaned John Addison $531.50. In return, Addison issued Kirby a deed of mortgage, "strictly for the consideration of the said securing of money did convey to your Orator . . . two negro slaves . . . Dennis & George Marshall." Upon repayment of the loan by the specified date, the deed of mortgage would be deemed void. As Addison has "heretofore neglected & still neglects to pay your Orator the said Sum of money with the Interest thereon," Kirby asks the court to order Addison to pay him and "in default thereof that the said negro slaves Dennis & George Marshall may be sold to pay & satisfy your Orator his said debt with interest & the cost of this suit."
Result: Granted.
