insolvent,) suit was directed against him, December

by his removal, his successor was written to for in-
formation of his residence and his circumstances. He
stated that he had been some time in Paducah jail;
that his circumstances were bad, and he had no fixed
place of residence.

Upon failure of the usual efforts to collect by draft,

$283 51 This debt arose from moneys received by Mr. Sanders 1853 12
whilst district attorney. Suit was directed against
him, in Kentucky, January 28, 1839, but he having
removed to Mississippi before service, it was directed
there, February 27, 1839. Judgment was obtained,
November term, 1839, for $2,528 16; and Mr. San-
ders then placed in the hands of the district attorney
notes of hand of James H. Freeman, due January
23, 1841, for $400; Lewis B. Bates for $1,668 66,
due December 25, 1846; and of E. B. Bartlett for
$912 50, due October 1, 1842-as collateral secu-
rity for said judgment, and for $141 50 not included
in it, received from J. Slaughter, (vide supra.)
None of these notes was paid at maturity. Execu-
tion issued upon the judgment, and $300 92 was
made by sale of Mr. Sanders's property, and was
paid over, July 23, 1841. Suit was brought on the
note of Freeman, and judgment obtained, in the north-
ern district of Mississippi, June 10, 1842. Execu-
tion issued, and was returned, "No property." He
then gave a note of William Vannerson for $250, as
collateral. This note was put in suit, and judgment
obtained, and $250 principal and $33 51 interest
were collected and paid, December 11, 1843; leaving
due, by Mr. Sanders, $1,853 12, besides interest.
Efforts were made to collect the notes of Bates and
Bartlett without suit; which failing, suit was directed

against the former, August 25, 1842, and against
the latter, May 9, 1843. Judgments have been ob-
tained in both, and defendants are solvent, but the
collection has been enjoined until Mr. Sanders shall
execute titles to the land, for the purchase of which
the notes were the consideration. It is supposed
that this will be done, and the debt fully collected.
Collected by suit, with $5 39 interest, and $9 24
costs, September 20, 1841.

Upon failure of the usual efforts to collect by draft,
suit was directed, September 7, 1839, against Pat-
ton alone, the sureties being at this period discharged.
Judgment was obtained for the amount, November
6, 1839, and execution was returned, May, 1841,
"No estate found." The case was brought to the
notice of B. E. Green, special agent, June 17, 1842,
who reported, August 24, 1842, that the debt might
be considered as lost, there being no hope of Patton's
being ever able to pay, if ever so anxious.
Upon failure of the usual efforts to collect by draft,
suit was directed, August 22, 1839, against Kirtley
alone, the sureties being at this period discharged..
Judgment was obtained for the amount, November 6,
1841, and execution was returned, November, 1840,
"No estate found."

Upon failure of the usual efforts to collect by draft,
suit was directed, 5th August, 1839. Judgment
was obtained, 5th November, 1839, for the amount.
Execution issued, and was returned, "No estate.

Upon failure of the usual efforts to collect by draft, $402 88
suit was directed, 12th September, 1839, against
the principal, in Ohio, and against the sureties, in
Kentucky, to recover $615 94, the amount then
due. Judgment was obtained against Morrow, 28th
December, 1839, for the amount, with interest.
Execution issued,. and was returned, "No proper-
ty found." Costs paid. Against Alexander, judg.
ment was also obtained for the amount, November,
1839, and fi. fa., alias and pluries, issued, and were
successively returned, "No estate." At May
term, 1840, judgment was obtained against Boyd
for $213 06, which was collected on fi. fa. and paid
over, 30th March, 1841, leaving amount due as
stated. The information respecting Morrow is con-
tradictory, but the impression arising from the
whole is, that he has abundant means, though his
property cannot be reached. A private suiter would
doubtless be able to make the money.
