Summary
A suit to recover Ellen Shockley, a slave, or her value, and Susan Humphrey, a slave child. The plaintiff claimed that Balletin, who was insolvent, had given Shockley to Mrs Bollinger to place her beyond the reach of his creditors, and that this was void. He further claimed that Shockley had been sold on by Mrs Bollinger for [dollars] 700. The defendants, Mrs Bollinger's heirs, denied the allegations, and claimed ownership of Humphrey on the ground that her mother had been bought at a sheriff's sale. The lower court found that the defendants should deliver Shockley, or, failing that, [dollars] 700, to the plaintiff, and that the defendants had no title to Humprhey as she had not been advertised or sold with her mother. Judgment affirmed.
