Ex Parte

On this day came on his cause to be heard on petition, and it appearing 
that petitioner intermarried in 1846 with the daughter of A. G. Beaty 
[Amanda Beaty Curlin], that she is dead and that in child (?) that A. G. 
Beaty died in May or June 1860 and that F. A. Beaty qualified as his 
administrator in this Court in 1861; that he has made but one report of his 
accounting; and doings as administrator and that the report thus made 
contains manifest and apparent errors (?) that he fails to report the (four 
words obliterated) personal affects of his intestate correctly and not 
entirely from said report as a charge to him about the sum of $1253.08 and 
for this that he reports a valuable grist mill worthless, and also the rent 
of two tracts of land at very inadequate prices and that he fails to report 
or account for the hire of negroes of said estate for 1863, 64, & 65 is 
therefore ordered that a citation issue commanding said administrator to 
return unto this Court a perfect inventory of said estate ordered by the 
February term of this Court.
