Kent v. Armistead

The president pronounced the court’s opinion, “that, (without deciding either of the points stated in the bills of exceptions,) the declaration is insufficient to support the action ; it not being stated therein that the slave in question belonged to, or was the property of the plaintiff, now defendant.” (1.) Judgment reversed, and entered in favour of the plaintiff in error. Footnotes [(1.)] Note. See 1 Chitty on pleading, 365 ; 3 Tuck. Bl. 152 Sound. 379. note 13.
