Opinion

The Court

gave no opinion on the first or second point; hut rather inclined to consider the reversion in the slave Sarah, with her increase, as passing; by the residuary clause of the will of Elizabeth Pinchback. .

On the third point, the Court was unanimous, that the sale from Anne Pinchback to Sarah Crump was valid;

* aud, therefore, the decree of the Chancellor was reversed, and the bill of the appellees dismissed with costs.
