    John Cleland v. Foissine et al.
    
      
       Othniel Beale (1688-1773), bom in Marblehead, New England, and in command of a ship plying between Charleston and London, won fame in 1724, when, captured by Algerine pirates, he steered his captors into the Thames. In 1722 he married Hannah Gale, and took his place as a prominent and useful citizen of Charleston, where he served as justice of the peace, engineer and commissioner of fortifications, colonel of militia, and president of the Council; he also “acquired a very considerable fortune.” His daughter Hannah married William Bull, later the second lieutenant governor of the name. (McCrady, S. C. under the Royal Government, p. 61; St. Philip’s Register, 1720-1758, pp. 152, 184; SGHGM, X, 137; XII, 160; XXI, 63.)
    
   This Cause coming on this day to be heard by Consent of all Parties The Matter upon the Complainant’s Bill and the Defendants Separate Answers made to the same was fully opened by Counsel on both sides, But forasmuch as it appeared that the Answer of Andrew Johnston one of the Defendants in this Cause was Defective, it was therefore prayed that he might be at liberty to amend the same, which the Court held reasonable And Ordered accordingly; Which Amendment was in these Words, vizt “That he is Executor of the last Will and Testament of William Fleming in the Bill named” And the same was inserted in the Said Defendant’s Answer and by him Sworn to in Court, Wherefore and for want of Parties and other Defects in the Complainant’s Bill contained, the Court did not think fit then to proceed any further therein.
