Petition #20585102

Abstract

Charles Morrison, "subject of the Kingdom of Great Britain and a citizen of London," seeks payment of debts owed to him by the estate of the late Hector W. Braden, for which Braden mortgaged several slaves as security. Morrison states that notes amounting to $9025.35 were "duly and absolutely assigned" to him by the Union Bank of Florida. He charges that following the death of Hector W. Braden, his executor, Joseph A. Braden, "took possession of all the property" and has received the "hires and the fruits and profits of their labor." Morrison asks that the court "decree the payment of the debt due to your Orator" and "that the mortgaged property be sold for the satisfaction and payment of said debt."

Result: Granted.
