McKenzie Beverley purchased a slave for $650 from Rodham Kenner, who guaranteed that the slave was sound. Beverley avows that the slave "was at the time of the sale unsound of a disease of which he afterwards died." He notes that Kenner died before he could institute a suit against the slave's former owner, so he sued Judith Kenner, the administratrix of Kenner's estate, for compensation. Fearing that Judith Kenner intends to "defraud the creditors" and "carry with her the effects of the said Rodham" to Tennessee, Beverley asks for an order preventing Judith Kenner from leaving Virginia.
Result: Granted; dismissed.
