Henry Berry claim against Brien, Flanagan, and Panan.

To the Honorable J. R. Douglass Judge of the Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery for Jefferson County Humbly complaining showeth unto your Honor your Orator Henry Berry, that John McP Brien is indebted to him in the sum of $113.50 with interest thereon from the 22 day of July 1841, done by a check drawn by said Brien on the Hagerstown Bank in favor of your orator, which was presented at the said Bank for payment a few days thereafter, and the payment thereof was refused on the ground that the said Brien had no funds in the said Bank. The said Brien has promised payment thereof frequently since but has failed to pay the same. The check is filed hereinwith. The said Brien is also indebted to your orator by account in the same for $145.00, which is also herewith filed. The said Brien is a resident of the State of Maryland, but your orator charges that Richard Panan who is residing in this county is indebted to the said Brien in a considerable amount and has in his possession a tract of land near Shepherdstown in this County belonging to the said Brien and William Flanagan who resides in this county is also indebted to the said Brien in a considerable amount, and has in his possession a tract of land in this county belonging to said Brien, being the tract on which the said Flanagan resides. Your orator charges that said Brien has also other lands in this county. Under these circumstances your orator has no remedy in the promises, without the aid of this court, he therefore prays that the said John McP Brien, Richard Panan, and William Flanagan may be made defendants to this bill and be compelled to argue on, that the said Panan and Flanagan may state particularly how much they owe respectively to the said Brien, and what lands, and effects of his, they have in their possession. That the said debts, effects and lands, and all other lands of the said Brien in this County, may be attached to satisfy the claims of your orator according to the acts of assembly in such cases made and provided, and that your orator may have all other proper relief in the promises. May it please your Honor to grant to your orator the Commonwealth’s subpoena retaining order. Henry Berry.
