Fourth District Court.-.Suit for Damages.
;. Lucinda O. Risa VIZ. F. r. Stevenson g.
Coin this case plaintiff AYERS that de-
PENDANTS are indebted to her in damages for
the sum of $1,000 %, for this That she
owned a certain piece of improved real es-
tate on the corner of ConstantinOple and
Magazine streets, in this city, which she
bought from George w. jenkins, in JAN
mary, 1867. In January, 1868, she was Of
fered $4,000 for the property by DR.. w. r.
Miner, and would have made the sale but
for the fact that defendants pretended to
have Judgment against her under George
w. jenkins for 5000.
Petitioner AYERS that the pretensions of
defendants were malicious and without
foundation, for they had no valid claim
whatever. She alleges that they attempted
20 sell her property under an execution and
were enjoined, whereupon the case was
tried and judgment rendered by a court
of final resort, in her favor. Petitioner
alleges that the pretended claim of defend
ants injured the value of her property, and
occasioned the withdrawal Of Dr. Miners
proposition. She says that being harassed
~ pressing debts, she sold the property for
$3OOO, and claims that she has been dam
aged BY defendants, acts in the sums of
SSuao 70, Tor which amount she asks judg-
