Your Orator shows that in about the year 1841 or '42, being somewhat involved in debt, and fearing lest his family, who belonged to him, might be levied on and sold by his creditors, he, at the suggestion of the said KIRKPATRICK, made a deed of trust of his family to Joseph RUTLAND, the said Kirkpatrick saying that he wished to befriend your orator and prevent any of his family from being sold. In the said deed of trust, a note for 750$ and one for 1113$, are mentioned, said to be due by your orator, to Kirkpatrick and to secure the payment of which, the deed upon it face is alledged to be made. These sums, Kirkpatrick told your orator, were placed in the deed for form sake, to make it good, so that it would hold the negroes and prevent your orator's creditors from taking them; and not that the sd. Kirkpatrick really held at the time, any such notes, as the two mentioned, upon your Orator. It is true that your Orator, at the time of making the deed, might have been owing Kirkpatrick something, but the amount was very small.
