Abraham L. Jones, a Logansport real estate dealer, seeks to collect a $5 loan from Edward Shafer by using a little used provision.

Jones filed a transcript of the judgment in Cass Circuit Court to bind Shafer by future property acquisitions and inheritances, with 6 percent annual interest and potential semiannual writs of execution.
