Cæsar v. Peabody

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.
