Abstract
The petitioners are heirs of William Fretwell, deceased. Before his death, Fretwell published his last will and testament, leaving his slaves, Sarah and Green, to his wife, Ann, during her life. In 1853 Ann died but at that time the slaves and their increase were not in Ann's possession but in the possession of Alfred M. Neal of South Carolina. Neal refuses to turn the slaves over to the Fretwell heirs and the heirs ask that Neal be required to give an account of the hire of the slaves for the time they have been in his possession and that he be enjoined from removing the slaves from the state.
Result: Dismissed.
