John C. Johnson, an "accommodation security" of William C. Daugherty, seeks a writ of attachment on the property of said Daugherty. Noting that "the said Daugherty is justly indebted to him," Johnson states that he obtained judgments and "upon all of said judgments Executions have been issued," resulting in a levy upon Daugherty's property. He asserts, however, that said property "had been before ... levied upon & attached at the instance of other creditors of said Daugherty & for amounts as your Orator is informed & believes sufficient to exhaust said personal property." Johnson further charges that Daugherty "made a fraudulent transfer of a portion of his slaves to the said David Maxwell for the purpose ... to defeat the collection of his debts." Of the opinion that Daugherty's property "will be insufficient to pay his debts unless the slaves conveyed to the said Maxwell can be ... made liable to said debts," the petitioner prays that "the personal property of the said Daugherty, be also attached, together with all his slaves, both those pretended to be conveyed to the said Maxwell & those not conveyed -- that his Rail Road stock also be attached." Johnson also asks that a tract of land be sold and that "the lien priority of your Orator on the same be enforced."
Result: Granted.
