Charles B. Carty requests that his former business partner "be required to disclose the whole Condition and render an account, in detail, of all the partnership transactions together with all vouchers and evidences of the same." Carty explains that he and William D. Yant entered into a partnership in July of 1858 "to establish a shop and carry on the business of manufacturing Boots & Shoes." He reports that they purchased "two colored Shoemakers, Jim and Pete ... for the sum of $2600." Carty purports that the "business was profitable" until the middle of 1862, "when Jim and Pete went off, or were taken off by the Federal Soldiers, and the business finally terminated." Noting that "there has never been a settlement of the partnership transactions between Complainant and said Yant," the petitioner "is persuaded that there ought to be a large sum coming to him" after the firm's debts are discharged. He therefore prays that "the Court would appoint the Clerk & Master of the Chancery Court at Fayetteville, Receiver" and that said William Yant and his brother Travis, to whom William "transferred his interest," be required to deliver "the books, notes, accounts, moneys, or other effects belonging to said firm ... to said Receiver."
