The heirs and administrators of the estate of the late William Goodman pray for permission to sell the slaves in Goodman's estate. The petitioners inform the court that William Goodman owned seventeen slaves ranging in age from infancy to fifty years old. They request that the court allow them to sell these slaves, because they "Cannot be beneficially divided amoungst them the distributies." After the sale, the administrators can divide the proceeds among the heirs.
Result: Granted.
