Your Petitioner also humbly states that since the filing of her said Petition against the said Talbot as sale of your Petitioner has been made to a third person by the said Talbot and that the purchaser so unknown to your Petitioner is seeking and threatining forcibly to carry your Petitioner beyond the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of District of Columbia for the County of Washington contrary to the statute of Maryland provided for the protection of the rights and liberties of your Petitioner. Wherefore she prays Hon your Honors the Judges of this Court that they would order her into the custody of this Court and render such other relief as to your Honors may seem necessary and that your Honors will rule the Marshall to return the subpoena aforesaid [illegible].
