Bellach v. Gabb, 2 Del. Cas. 231 (Del. 1805).

Opinion

Chief Justice Booth.

The policy or impolicy of the law has nothing to do with this decision. We consider this a penal Act, but yet it should be so construed as to remedy the mischief. The carrying out and the Negro being slave should be proved, but direct proof is not necessary. If you are fully satisfied from the evidence of the guilt of the party you will so find.

Verdict for plaintiff, £100.
