Your Orator further states that in the month of October, of the same year, he did proceed to West Tennessee and procured a deed of conveyance from the heirs of Andrew Greer, deceased, for one thousand and seventy acres of said tract of land for two thousand and one hundred and forty acres originally entered on Certificate exhibit "D", and to which you Orator has also ready to produce to your Honor at such time as may be required. Your Orator expressly charges that at the time he gave to said Nathaniel Taylor the power of attorney before name, that it was not in pursuance to any sale of the interest made to the said Taylor, which your Orator had in said tract of land, nor was any consideration paid by said Taylor to your Orator then or at any other time for the same.
Your Orator states further that the heirs of Greer, for the trouble and expense consequent upon perfecting said Certificate into a Grant, charged the said Taylor and your Orator the one-fourth part of said tract of land, which would amount to five hundred and thirty-five acres, added to that one-third interest which the said Andrew Greer held in the same by reason of the Original Agreement, would leave the quantity of one-thousand and seventy acres to said Taylor and your Orator, which quantity is contained in the deed made by the said heir to the said Taylor.

Your Orator further states that since the death of said Nathaniel, Mary Taylor, widow, and James P. Taylor took upon themselves the execution of the last Will of said Nathaniel Taylor, as executor and executrix, and your Orator has repeatedly pressed said executor, James P., to liquidate said matter either by making a conveyance of the aforesaid one hundred and forty seven acres of land, so conveyed to his testator by the heirs of Andrew Greer, deceased, under the power of attorney of your Orator, or give to your Orator an equivalent therefore in money, which the said James P., has frequently
