Abstract
In 1842, Clarisy West entrusted her property comprised of eight slaves, a cotton plantation, real estate, and livestock to Lewis Lackey, now deceased, to be kept separate from the property of her husband, Charles West. Edward Broughton, administrator of the estate of Lewis Lackey, states that the Wests took advantage of Lackey, who was "ignorant & subject to intoxication" and persuaded him to sign nine promissory notes amounting to $850. The Wests have now initiated a suit against Broughton to collect the debt from the estate. Broughton avers that the notes are fraudulent. He asks the court to cancel the notes.
