Petition, SC, York, John J. Abernethie To The Honorable the members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the state of South Carolina. The petition of JOHN J. ABERNETHIE shows that on the first Monday in September 1835 he sold conveyed and delivered up to the purchaser three Negroes and that previous thereto he had sold, conveyed by deed his Plantation containing one hundred and sixty four Acres. That your petitioner did not deem it necessary to make a return of the above property to the tax collector of York District when he was collecting the last taxes as he was not liable legally to pay taxes for it having parted with it previous to the 1st of October and the tax collector, not being aware of the fact as your petitioner supposes, issued his execution against your petitioner for a double tax on the aforesaid property amounting to six dollars and thirty cents, which your petitioner has been compelled to pay to the sheriff, with costs. Your petitioner therefore prays that the said double tax and cost thereon may be refunded. And your petitioner will pray. JOHN J. ABERNATHIE November 20th 1835 sworn to before me September 25th 1836.
