Summary
Petition for freedom. Trespass and false imprisonment. The defendant offered in evidence an attachment and a bill of sale. The lower court dismissed both pieces of evidence and found for the petitioner. The Supreme Court agreed in the case of the bill of sale, but said that the attachment levied upon Beck, the plaintiff's grandmother, and her children Fan and Olly, in 1809, should not have been ruled out. The fact that the grandmother and the mother of the plaintiff had been treated as free people for some thirty years tended to infer their emancipation in some mode prescribed the law. New trial requested as evidence about the attachment needed to be heard.
