Thomas Harris accepted from Thomas G. Slye "his deed of Indenture" for $234, whereby Slye mortgaged two slaves: thirty-five-year-old Harry and thirty-three-year-old mulatto Pressy. Despite this mortgage, Slye "has been permitted to continue in possession . . . and the reception of the issues and profits of the same." The agreed upon time for the loan has now elapsed and Harris now petitions the court for full payment with interest from Slye. He asks that the court order the sale of the slaves if Slye is unable to repay him.
Result: Granted.
