(SLAVE TO BE AUCTIONED TO PAY A  DEBT)
Manuscript D.S. 12pp., legal folio, Gonzales County, Texas, Aug. 12, 1856 , a court case in which a Mildred Littlefied sues a Mr. D.C. Moore for non-payment of a dept, resulting in the sheriff seizing, with Mr. Moore's agreement: "...one Negro Boy named Frank of Copper Color, aged about 12 years...the above described property on the...6th day of November to be sold to satisfy said execution...". Notice is then given to Moore that he has until that point to pay the money with interest, or lose his slave. Bound together with the original ribbon and wax seal of the court, very good condition.
