George Peery to the Chancery Court, Knox County, Tennessee, 1836
To the Honb. Wm. B. Bass the Chancellor for the state of Tennessee, now holding Chancery Court for the counties of Knox &c in the Eastern Division of the State of Tennessee
Humbly complaining, sheweth unto your Honor, your Orator, George Perry, a citizen of the county of Knox and state aforesaid. -That heretofore, to wit, on or about the 30th day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-six, your orator was at his upper plantation in the county of Knox, when a certain Henry G. Roberts came for him, informing him that there were two men at his house wishing to see him. Your orator asked who they were. The said Roberts answered that your orator would know them when he saw them. When your orator arrived at his house, he found that the men were Calloway Hodge and Bright Hodge, residents in and of the county of Jefferson and State aforesaid, who, together with Henry G. Roberts aforesaid of the county of Knox, your orator prays may be made defendants to this Bill. Upon your orator’s arrival at his house, the said Calloway Hodge, or Bright Hodge or Henry G. Roberts told your orator that they had visited him for the purpose of purchasing his stud-horse and sent to Mr. Gibbs’ in the neighbourhood (sic), for spirituous liquor, of which, they seemed to drink freely. Your orator, having grown old and infirm admits, with mortification, that he has become addicted to the habit of occasional intoxication. This fact was known to said Roberts, and, as he presumes, to said C. Hodge and B. Hodge, also. After chaffering* some time about the purchase of the stud horse they proposed buying a family of negroes, of the property of your orator, nine in number. Your orator refused to see the negroes, first because he was opposed to selling to negro-traders and secondly, because he would not part from them against their inclination. At about this stage of the negotiation, your orator could not resist their importunities, to repeat his drams with them, until he became so intoxicated as not to recollect distinctly any thing that subsequently occurred. But from his present indistinct recollection of what did happen, together with information derived from others who were present, he charges that Calloway Hodge, or one of the defendants repeatedly said to him “come old man, I have taken two drams to your one”, until, operated on by excess of intoxication, and the positive assurances from the said Hodges, that they did not wish to purchase the negroes to sell them again, but to keep them for their own use together with the assurance that the [crossed-out line of text] negroes were very anxious to be sold to them, and that if your Orator or the negroes, were dissatisfied within twelve months they should be returned, on refunding their [illegible word] your orator finally consented to sell, provided such were the facts.
A negro was then produced, belonging to your orator, and in whom he reposed great confidence, who assured your orator that the family of negroes before referred to, were anxious to be sold to the said Hodges. Whereupon your orator was prevailed upon and induced to sign a Bill of Sale of the following negroes as he is informed, to wit: --Mary, aged about thirty five years; Eliza, aged about eighteen years; James, aged about sixteen years; Anne, aged about fourteen years; Rachel, aged about twelve years; Charity, aged about ten years; Betsey, aged about eight years; Celia, aged about six years; Melinda, aged about two years. Your orator expressly alleged charges that, when said Bill of sale was executed, he was so intoxicated with spiritous liquor, that he did not know what he was doing. Your orator does not know whether said Bill of Sale was executed to Calloway or Bright Hodge; but, to one or the other of them. Your orator charges, that the said Calloway Hodge, bribed said negro to tell your orator that the beforementioned family of negroes were anxious to be sold; that said Hodge gave said negro, five dollars, to tell this falsehood and there deceive and impose upon your orator said Hodges claim to have included in this purchase, your orator’s stud-horse, which they carried away and which is of the value of one hundred and fifty dollars. Sometime afterwards, upon recovering from his stupor, your orator ascertained that the said Hodges had left with him, as the consideration, eighteen hundred dollars, which is little more than half, if any, of the value of said negroes. Upon the first opportunity thereafter, you orator offers to refund the said C. Hodge, the said eighteen hundred dollars -and tendered to him, the money. Your orator then offered to pay him fifty dollars if he would consent to cancel the contract. Hodges then asked what your orator thought of giving five hundred? Your orator has deposited the identical eighteen hundred dollars left at this house by said Hodges, in the Bank in Knoxville, to await the order of your Honor.
Your orator has no certain knowledge what interest the aforesaid H. G. Roberts had, in the fraud practiced on him; he has, once, however, been informed, that said Roberts was to get one of the negroes, and again, that he was to get one hundred dollars as the price of his nefarious participation; your orator further Charges that said Defendants, or their Confederates or some of them are or have been lurking about his house in order to get into their possession said negroes, [three illegible words] obtained by as above stated. Forasmuch, therefore, as your orator is without his remedy in a court of Law and can have relief only in a Court of Equity, whose peculiar duty it is, to take cognizance of all matters of fraud and imposition; he prays that the said Calloway Hodge, the said Bright Hodge and the said H. G. Roberts be required, upon their corporal oaths, full true and perfect answers to make to the charges in this Bill … {one page of summary interrogatories]
The premises considered, your orator prays that the said Bill of Sale may be cancelled and the said Hodges be enjoined from suing for, or taking into their possession, the negros in the said Bill of Sale mentioned, until the final hearing of this cause; and that your Honor may grant such and further relief as the nature of his case requires and may be agreeable to Equity and good conscience &c & This being the first application for an Injunction or process in this case --- he prays process of Subpoena &C.
