Thomas J. Brown, heir of the late William Brown, seeks an injunction to prevent William H. Walker, administrator of the estate of William Brown, from selling the estate's real property to settle debts. Brown states that when the deceased's widow, Mary Brown, was appointed administratrix in 1862, shortly after the death of William Brown, there was enough personal property, excepting slaves, approximately $60,000, to settle all the outstanding debts. Around 1864 or 1865, William H. Walker replaced Mary Brown as administrator and asked the court's permission to sell the real estate. In January 1866, the petitioner purchased Mary Brown's and William L. Brown's interest in the real estate. As owner of the interest in the lands, Thomas Brown seeks to prevent the sale of the land.
Result: Granted.
