Charles R. Stewart, administrator of the estate of the late Thomas Robinson, complains that Robinson died leaving debts against his estate. Stewart says he must sell either Robinson's slaves or the wood and timber on Robinson's property in order to raise money to discharge the debts. Robinson's widow and friends agree that "the interest of the children ... would be promoted by reserving the Servants." Stewart asks the court to authorize him to cut the timber on the property "especially as the Wood and timber is so abundant at present on said Estate and if cut will be replaced by the natural Groth by the time the children of said deceased arrive at age."
Result: Granted.
