Cæsar v. Peabody, 11 Johns. 68 (N.Y. Super. Ct. 1814).

Pincite

Opinion

Per Curiam.

According to the decision of this court, in Sable v. Hitchcock, (2 Johns. Cases, 79.) the sale of the slave on the execution was valid; but the subsequent sale by the purchaser to Peabody, was contrary to the act, being a voluntary sale by the master of a slave, imported or brought into the state. That sale was, therefore, void; and, according to the agreement of the parties, a peremptory mandamus must issue.

Rule granted.
