During one episode in this incident, state officials broke into the office of Achilles Sneed to recover records that he was ordered to turn over by the legislature, after which he was fined. A compromise that appointed George Bibb to replace John Boyle eventually resolved this incident, which was sparked when governor Gabriel Slaughter enacted a measure to deal with a group called the "Forty Thieves." This incident began when the state Assembly issued the "replevy law" stopping creditors from collecting on their debts for at least one year. After that law was successfully challenged, governor Joseph Desha of the newly-formed Debt Relief Party responded by passing a reorganization bill. The journalist Francis Blair was appointed as the clerk for one side in this controversy. That side was also supported by Solomon Sharp, which may have led to his murder by Jereboam Beauchamp, as detailed in the novel World Enough and Time. Many years later, the common law of the state was modified to remove all cases decided by one body in this incident. For 10 points, name this controversy which began in Kentucky in 1824, when two separate legal tribunals vied for supremacy.
