Opinion of the Court
The accused was tried for the crime of murder, and, although
The course pursued by the special tribunal, in this instance, is unwarranted in law. A slave cannot be subjected to punishment when he is acquitted of the charges preferred against him. This power is not conferred by the 28th section of the Act of 1857, relative to slaves. Sess. Acts, p. 229 ; State v. Slave Charles, 14 An. 649.
