United States v. Butler, 25 F. Cas. 212, 1 Cranch 373 (circtddc 1806).
Opinion
Assault and battery of a slave is an indictable offence.
The property which a man has in a slave is not of the same nature as his property in a horse. It is only a right to his perpetual service.
[Reported by Hon. William Cranch, Chief Judge.]
