Abstract
Mark Reavis informs the court that he purchased a slave named Oney and her three children from John Sears on 31 August 1819 "at & for the price of one thousand dollars." He contends that Sears sold the slaves with the representation "that the said negroe Woman Oney, was sound & healthy, & free from any defect." Reavis, however, argues that Oney "was then & there sick" from a disease called "the White swelling" and that she "continued to be afflicted with said disease, in so much, that she has been of but little use or service to your Orator." The petitioner further cites that the said Sears has obtained a judgment against him for the purchase money remaining. He therefore prays that the court "disist from the issuing executions or otherwise proceeding on the said Judgement so wrongfully obtained" and that Sears be summoned and "make answer to all and singular the allegations in this bill Contained."
Result: Granted.
