After the transaction, Eliza divorced William, and the petitioner was appointed her trustee. The petitioner "further states that before the decree for a divorce he made a swap of Slaves with said Eliza J and she agreed to pay him $350." He notes that other transactions were made surrounding the slave exchange, whereupon he is still owed money. The petitioner seeks an affirmation of the sale and an appointment of a commissioner.
