Abstract
Thomas Berry claims that Amos J. Persons gave him a promissory note for $3800, secured by a mortgage on ten slaves. Now Berry reports that Mark A. Cooper, a resident of Columbus, Georgia, has successfully obtained a $7000-judgment against Persons, resulting in a levy being placed on the mortgaged slaves. Berry fears that Cooper will disregard his lien on the slaves and sell them beyond the jurisdiction of the court and state. He asks that Cooper be prevented "from all further proceeding upon said judgement & execution as regards said negroes, till said mortgage and note have been paid off & discharged." A related document reveals that the slaves were sold at auction in 1842, for $2826.25, in order to satisfy Thomas Berry's claim.
Result: Granted.
