Spires v. Walker

Opinion of the Court

WARNER, J.

According to the ruling of a majority of this Court in Shorter v. Cobb, 39th Ga. Rep., 285, and White v. Hart, Ib. 306, it was held and decided, that the Courts of this State have no jurisdiction or authority, to enforce any debt the consideration of which was a slave or slaves. This case comes within the rulings of the Court in the two cases cited, and must be controlled by them. Let the judgment of the Court below be reversed.
