In his will, the late William White "emancipated and liberated certain ones of his slaves, some to be free at his death and others at stated periods thereafter." Turner, one of White's slaves, charges that the heirs destroyed the will when they became acquainted with its provision for emancipating the slaves, and that he has been sold by Robert Glass, one of the heirs, although by now he should have been freed. He asks the court to subpoena the defendants and determine what they know of the will, to restrain them from interfering with him, and finally to decree him his freedom plus compensation for his hire for the years during which he should have been free.
Result: Granted.
