NovrL CASE on QUESTION .oF FREEpoM.-A
case OF some novelty and interest was tried during
the past week, IN this city, IN the Henrco Circuit
Court Of Law. II was suit for freedom, brought
by family OF eight negroes, claiming their free
dom under deed OF manumission executed by
their former MASTER about twenty years ago. in the
city OF New York. We learn that the evidence
was, that they were the children and grandch-
dren OF their former master, who carried them to
New York and there emancipated them, to evade
the law Of Virginia, which did not allow him to
ernancipate them here, without sending them out
Of the State; that he brought them Immediately
back with him to Virginia; and they were never
molested in the enjoyment Of their freedom since
his death, which occurred about years ago, until
they were arrested last summer by the Sheriff. At
the instance Of his next OF kin, and claimed as
slaves. The question Of sufiiciency Of such
deed TO confer the right OF freedom ia Virginia was
very deliberately argued. The Judge, upon a full
and attentive consideration OF the arguments and
authorities, delivered an opinion, evincng much
ability and power Of discrimination, allowing the
deed, along with the other evidence, 10 90 to the
jury, who found verdict in favor Of the negroes

court for six dsys.-Rlchmord (pa) Dispatch,
