Chancery Court Abstracts

In 1779, George BURKHART was indebted to Casper KELLER for 
482 pounds current money.  Burkhart lent Samuel SIMMONS 130 
pounds and Simmons sold mill and land resulting in these monies 
being in dispute as to who was to be paid.  Burkhart filed an 
injunction against Keller and placed a judgement against Adam 
FISCHER, sheriff of Frederick County.  

On 3 May 1785, the court ruled to stay the injunction and 
judgment until the High Court of Chancery could hear the cases.
