To the Honorable Henry St.George Parker Judge of the superior Court of Chancery holden at Winchester--respectfully complaining herewith unto your Honour --your Orator Charles Magill administrator debonis non of John Haddox Junr. deceased.
- That John Haddox Junr. died in the State of Kentucky and a David Morehead administered on his Estate, and put into the hands of a certain Enoch Haddox, Constable in Frederick County, Virginia early in the year 1818, sundry notes evidencing(?) debts of the said John Haddox Junr amounting to $110.38 1/2 to be collected by the said Enoch in his character of Constable, and as accounted for--for those claims to be collected as aforesaid the said Enoch Haddox gave a Receipt to _____ William Murral whereby an order written on the said Receipt directed the payment of the said monies when collected to your orator Charles Magill, of which the said Enoch Haddox was soon after notified by your Orator promised to comply. The said Enoch Haddox subsequently stated that he had made the collection but instead of paying the amount agreeably to his engagement he for the improper purpose of retaining the money in his own hands, obtained letters of administration upon the estate of his Brother the said John Haddox, and filed a Bill in the Court where your Honour presides & obtained an Injunction to prevent the payment to your Orator, pretending that the money required by that Receipt, and also the proceeds of several other obligations to John Haddox assigned by David Morehead admr. of John Haddox, to John Jordan ___ a _____ in Suit by Charles Magill for collection, were the propert of the widow and children of John Haddox in Kentucky: and that Morehead & Jordan had colluded to defraud them of it, and proaythat the said Charles Magill should be restrained from paying over the money when collected: the said Charles Magill answered the said Bill and to the best of his recollection made the said Receipt and order thereon part of his answer, and filed the papers as an exhibit in the cause: which Bill, answer and exhibit your Orator states are lost or mislaid in the Clerk's Office, and diligent search has been repeatedly made for them, and they have not been found. Enoch Haddox died intestate, by which the said oforesaid was suspended, and Wilford G. Settle administered on his Estate, and at first promised to satisfy the amount of the Receipt, but afterwards refused to do so: and stated that he had been advised that the state of his intestate affairs forbid his paying it. After the death of said Enoch Haddox administration of the Estate of John Haddox decd in Virginia unadministered by the said Enoch Haddox was granted to your Orator: who ws induced to take the same in order that Justice might be done in the premises aforesaid in which he before was engaged in Character of Counsel.
- To the end therefore that the said Wilford G. Settle administrator of Enoch Haddox decd. may be made Defendant to this Bill, the he may be made on his Corporal Oath will true and perfect answers make to all and singular the allegations contained therein, as fullly as if the same were herein repeated, and he thereto interrogates: and that by a decree of this court he may be compelled to pay to your Orator out of the Estate of his intestate the said $110.38 1/2 with interest theron from the day of until payment. And that he may also render an Oath in his answer, a full true and perfect answer and discovery of all obligations, notes & monies which came to the hads of his intestate Enoch Haddox administrator of John Haddox decd. and pay the amount to your Orator, and that your Orator may have such further and other relief in the premises as shall be proper agreeably to the Rules of Equity: may it please your Honour to grant unto your Orator the Commonwealth's writ of subpoena. /s/ Waite for ____

The answer of Wilfred G. Settle admr. of Enc Haddox dec'd to a Bill exhibited against him in the Superior court of Chancery holding at Winchester by Charles Magill admin. de bonis non of John Haddox Jr. dec'd - This respondent making the usual reservations to said Bill for answer thereto answering Saith that the said plaintiff mentioned the subject of suit stated in the Bill to Respondent but he has no recollection of ever having promised to pay it unless the circumstances of the Estate would admit of it - The vouchers were legal - Respondent has never seen the suit, and is wholly ignorant of all the statements in the pltfs. bill and calls for proof--he is willing to have his administration account settled from which will appear that the assets are not sufficient to discharge the claims against his intestate estate, which are no contemplation of Law superior in dignity to the pltfs. claim.
- Respondent farther answering saith that he has never recd., seen or heard of any claim due to Enoch Haddox as admr. of John Haddox except a note payable by Wm. Comer and Hannah Keeble for eighty seven dollars and some cents which he collected the money on & is ready to pay into court whenever directed--If any other claims are discovered respondent will immediately deliver there of--Respondent denying all ___________ prays to be hence dismissed with his Costs.
