The facts admitted will not bear an argument. The defendant was not an inhabitant of Westmoreland county before the 23d September 1780, and therefore does not come within the words or meaning of the act of 13th April 1782. Neither he nor the negro wore within the state at that timo. In a much stronger case on a habeas corpus in Washington county against Aberilla Blackmore, the court liberated two negro women.
