some other female ancestor was brought ia-
to this country at time, and under circum-
stances, which created lawful right, un-
der the then existing laws, to hold her and
her posterity in slavery.
As co the variance in this instance be-
tween the case made by the evidence, and
that stated in the bill. there is nothing in
/. The liberality admitted in suits for
freedom by this court will certainly justify
the appellees i'll meeting the appellant on
the ground he has taken, which they con-
tend, and will establish by the Judgment of
this court, will suffice to justify their claim
to freedom.
am therefore of opinion hat the appel
lees, ON these grounds, are entitled to their
freedom, and that the decree ought to be
affirmed.
Judges FLEMING, CARRINGToN and
LYONS President, concurring, the latter
delivered the decree OF the court as fol-
lows:
"'This court, not approving of the chan
"cellor's principles and reasoning i'll his
decree made in this cause, except so far
&c as the same relates to white persons and
"native American Indians, but entirely
disappearing thereof, so far as the same
"relates to native Africans and their
descendants, who have been and are now
held as slaves by the citizens Of this state,
and discovering 10 other error in the
&c said decree, affirms the same"
