George Gunn seeks resolution of a dispute involving payment of a debt and seizure of his property. In March 1843, Gunn purchased "some lands and negroes" from Elisha Betts. Part of the agreement stipulated that Gunn make payments on various debts incurred by Betts. He assures the court that he complied with these conditions. However, he reports, portions of his property have nevertheless been levied by creditors of Betts even though said judgments were obtained subsequent to his purchase of the property. Since Betts, his creditor, and the sheriff intend to "attempt to force said property of your Orator to sale in satisfaction of the debts of Respondent Betts, fraudulently with a full knowledge of the purchase of your Orator," Gunn prays to the court that said proceedings be enjoined and restrained.
Result: Dismissed.
