A. H. Bush and F. R. Pittman, executors of the estate of Benjamin A. Dickens, ask permission to sell the slaves of the estate in order to pay debts. They state that they have already sold all the other perishable property, rented out the plantation and hired out the slaves for 1857. However, the amount of outstanding debt, after the allotment of the widow's dower, is such that "it will require the land and negroes sold at their full value to pay the debts."
Result: Granted.
