rating with the said w. ii. G. King and
Others to your petitioner unknown, to cheat,
wrong and defraud the creditors of the
eaid G. A. Weed, and to defeat, avoid and
evade the provisions, objects and ends OF
the said act, had concealed, covered up and
attempted to place beyond the pursuit OF

under the name and control of the said w.
ii. &. King, and others to your petitioner
, unknown, and falsely alleging and pretend
ing SAID journal to be the exclusive property
of the said w. II. c. King, and others to your

Your petitioner further shows unto your

heard, tried, dismissed or disposed of, b1t
is now pending, and even since the institu-
ton thereof, has been pending and unde-
Cided before your honor; that, by virtue of
the adjudication of bankruptcy made
against the said c. A. Weed, and the as
signment by him made of all his estate to
your petitioner for the benefit of the cred
TORS of him, the said G. A. Weed, and of
the institution and tendency of said pro-
ceedings, and of the provision of said act |

so far as the same may have been admins |
tered and distributed under the supervision |
Ol your honor, and of all questions and pro- |
ccedings in relation to said estate, and par |
ticularly the proceedings aforesaid.
Your petitioner further shows unto your
ceedings, viz on the - day of -, 1856,
said w. ii. G. King departed this life, leav-
ing him surviving, Mrs. King, his wife, and |
two minor children. That under and by
virtue of an order made by the honorable
the Second District Court for the parish of
Orleans, said Mrs. King has been recog
nized as executrix of the last will and tes-
lament of said W. II. C. King, and natural
tutrix Of her said minor children, and has
duly qualified in said capacities and entered
upon her trusts, and is now seized of her
said estates in her said capacities, as surviv-
ing in community.
Your petitioner further shows, that not
only was the Times newspaper fraudu-
lently placed and standing in the name of
the said w. II. G. King, the property of the
said G. A. Weed, but that the said W. H.
G. King was Justly and truly indebted unto
the said &. A. Weed in the sum of $50, 900.
That the said G. A. Weed, fraudulentIy CON
irving and colluding with the said w. H.
G.. King TO wrong, cheat and defraud the
creditors of him, the said c. A. Weed and
to conceal his said property and to place the
same beyond the reach of his creditors and
TO hinder, delay and defraud them, and to
evade the operations and provisions of said
act OF Congress, purposely omitted to place
said Indebtedness upon his schedules or 20
account for the same with your petitioner
as assignee as aforesaid, or to inform your
petitioner OF the existence of said indebted
ness.
That long subsequently to the institution
of said proceeding; and within the two
years last past, your petitioner has discov-
cred that the said &. A. Weed has been
guilty of another fraud in the disposition
of his said estate and upon the creditors of
his said estate and upon your petitioner as
assignee as aforesaid, in this, to wit: that
the said c. A. Weed, traudulently collud-
ing, combining and confederating with one
J. b. HGyt, brother in law of him the said |
c. A. Weed, to cheat, defraud, hinder and
delay the creditors of him, the said C. A
Weed, has fraudulently represented him. ,
the said j. Is. HOyt, to be the owner of an |
undivided one-half interest in the said I
Times newspaper, and the said j. b. Hoyt
has traudulently claimed to be the I
lwner of said interest in said Times
newspaper to the great wrong and injury 7
If the creditors of said estate, and of your
petitioner as assignee as aforesaid And
your petitioner further represents that dur I
ne all the time that said j. b. Hoyt has !
claimed and pretended to be \
he owner and proprietor of said interest in |
aid Tunes newspaper the gains and profits f
ierlyed from the publishing, advertising
md vending of the same have been very h
.reat, and during said period in which /
aud Hoyt has made the said fraudulent +
lam, have amounted to at least tie sum of +
100000. That during the said time the 6
aid Hoyt has received, had, and enioyed
ne-halt of all the revenues, profits and a
enetits derived from the publishing and h
ending of said journal, to the manifest great /,
Trohg and injury of the said creditors of the
aid estate, and of your petitioner as assignee f,
8 aforesaid. That said sum so derived as u
toresald from the publishing and vending |
f said journal, of right belongs to and II
hould be distributed among the creditors r,

Y and distributed among them but for the
'rOngful and fraudulent conspiracy of the n
aid j. B. Hoyt and G. A. Weed, and others ii
, your petitioner unknown. n
Your petitioner further shows unto your | n
onor that the said j. b. HOyt is non Y,
