M: Purroy then addressed the court At conside-

sPeak 'ne Eagnsh language. In adverting to that
part OF Sinquahs affidavit which states that he is
native OF Africa, Mr.. Purroy said that there were
large villages Of negroes in Havana who speak their
own language the same as the native American citi-
zehs VINO were born IN ennsylvana, yet speak Ger
man, and others in Duchess county rarely sneak
any lanluage but the low Dutch.
Mr. Sedgwick pnt in aftidavts from Lewis TappaA
and Joshua Leavt, who swore that thew had visited
these PLAINTIFF in prison, and believed them to be
native born Africans The learned gentlemen also
offered to read from book which he got from the
ONCE Of the British Consult some portions Of the
law OF Spain. This was objected to by the other
side and the book permitted to be read de bene
esse. All that came out from this reading was that
in conformity with treaty entered into between
spain and England, the King Of Spain, in December,
1917, issued decree prohibiting all subjects Of
Spain from resorting to the coasts of Africa for
slaves, after the 3Oth Of May, 1920, and further pro-
viding that in case any slaves were brought from
Africa after the prohibited period, the negroes so
brought were to be set free in the first port of the
Spanish domnens, at which the vessel might
rive; the vessel should be conscaed and the master
submit to be imprisoned for ten years He ase read
from the same book decree directing the exporta-
ton Of some of the free negroes of Havana to Eu-
rope because their residing at that place highly

Mr. Staples followed the side Of the negroes.
Mr. Purroy replied briefly, and commended that
were it even in evidence that the negroes were AZ
ricans, Ruiz cannot be sued in an action in form
delcto unless it be proved alleged that he kneic
them to be Africans when he purchased them; the
dnin'us must be proved; il he purchased them bona
tIde they cannot bring action of false imprison-
ment upon the ground that the negroes could not be
sold In Havana as slaves. Ruiz swears that he
bought the negroes publicly and under the condition
OF the Spanish laws. He may not have property in
be allowed, any gentleman coming from the South, or
any OF the West Indies, may be prosecuted and inn
prisoned Tor having purchased an African under
mistake IN country where slavery is allowed.
The Chief Justice said he would take the papers,
look into the case, and give his opinion in day
two.
