In January 1837, the petitioner, Charles Simpson, borrowed $700 from William Freeman, giving Freeman a note for $812, payable in December. Simpson annually renewed this note with Freeman for several years until Freeman sought and won a judgment against him. The petitioner accuses Freeman of "wickedly falsely and maliciously" taking out a second attachment on his property in Georgia by inducing one of Simpson's slaves to run away to the Freeman's house, where he was hidden until the attachment was issued. Simpson charges that Freeman is not satisfied "to take judgment for the principal debt alone" but has levied his property, exposing it to sale to satisfy the judgment. Simpson asks for an injunction to restrain Freeman "from proceeding any further against your orator touching any of the matters in question."
