BRIEF -- The bill of complaint charges that on the 17th February, A. D. 1836, the defendant Daniel A. Boon executed his writing obligatory, bearing date the day and year above mentioned, to one Augustus Stevens, of Tipton County, for the sum of one hundred and ninety-four dollars and eight cents. The value received -- that said note was afterwards, was on 9th April, 1836, assigned by said Augustus Stevens to Daniel Stevens, for value received, and afterwards on the 18th May, 1836, assigned by the said Daniel to the complainant, for value received -- that the said defendant, Daniel A. Boon, after executing said note, as above recited, removed to the State of Mississippi; and that the said Daniel has never paid the said note to the said Augustus or the said Daniel Stevens nor to the complainant; but that the same with interest and principle is now due and unpaid. The complainant further charges, that the said Daniel A. Boon, prior to his removal from this State, sold a piece of land lying in Tipton County, to Robert Boon, and took in payment thereof said Robert's note. Complainant further charges, that Joseph G. Boon now has in his possession a note for about the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, executed by the said Robert Boon and payable to the said Daniel Boon, and that said note in the property of the said Daniel, and that the said Joseph has no interest in said note, and that the same is still due and owing to the said Daniel from the said Robert. The complainant prays an attachment, to attach so much of the note in the hands of the said Robert or Joseph Boon as will be sufficient to discharge the sum of one hundred and ninety-four dollars and eight cents, which is owing to the complainant by the said Daniel A. Boon by the note of his drawn by him, payable to Augustus Stevens and by him assigned to Daniel Stevens and by Daniel assigned to complainant.
