Opinion

By the Court.—

The rules of the ancient common law, respecting personal goods and chattels have been disregarded, and a man by deed or will may dispose of the rise of his books or furniture to one man, and the remainder over to another, and the remainder will be good. 2 Blac. 398. And of course, he may in like manner dispose of any part of the increase of his personal estate, but not in such manner as to create a perpetuity. The Plaintiffs are entitled to recover the negro slave in question.
