Abstract
The four petitioners, minor heirs of the estate of their late grandfather, William Braly, explain that their father, David J. J. W. Fulton, as administrator of said estate, allotted four slaves to their brother, John G. Fulton, in an effort to stimulate said John to "work and do something for himself." The minor heirs assert, however, that their brother has "contracted the most intemperate habits" and might well waste the slave property, i.e., Adeline, about forty; Setilia, about fifteen; Jack, about fourteen; and Lucy, about two. They therefore seek an injunction to prevent Fulton "from further waste and destruction" of the property.
Result: Dismissed; overruled; revived; ended.
