the others identity we did no, speak and

at the same time, to things Of real moment,
the true importance of which grew daily
more apparent. Thus were we prepared for
other steps that had to be taken, and which,
] am 6 lad to say, we were able to take cheer
fully. We lead now a true and useful life,
and | am sure Florine will join me in say

times. But until that day comes, we will

lot; and should it never come, we will have
los, nothing by vain repinings."
When parted with my old friends, the
next day, felt that their lot was, beyond
comparison, more blessed than it would
have been had not misfortune visited them
and wished, from my heart that all who
had met with similar reverses would initiate
their good example. Still wondered a.
the change had seen and at times Can
hardly realize its truth.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS.

ALEXANDRIA, June 13, 1851.
SUIT for Freedom-Statement of the Case-Posi-
tons of Counsel Verdict Of the Jury.
have thought that report for the 44meri-
can Telegraph of a suit for freedom, which was
decided in the circuit court for Alexandria
county, on Tuesday last, might not be wholly
uninteresting.
The case, as the reporter understood it, was
as follows: Sarah, negro, was owned by a
lady before her marriage, and after her mar
rage was conveyed, in trust, for the benefit of
veyance, Sarah was sold by the lady to person
who had no notice of the trust, and who, with
out taking bill of sale, merely credited the
account of the lady's husband with the sum for
which the negro was sold. The purchaser, after
owning the negro for over FIVE years, manumitted
her, and for some ten years past she has been
regarded as entitled to her freedom.
After the death, however, of the lady who
sold Sarah, she was claimed by an executor, in
behalf of the children: for the reasons, first,
that the lady could only sell her life interest
and second, that no valuable consideration had
been paid
The counsel for Sarah argued that because of
failure to record the deed of trust in Alexan-
dria county, or to notify the purchaser of. such
trust, prior to the sale, or to set up any claim
within five years after the sale, the title vested
in the purchaser; while the consideration was
prima .facie made out by the fact that no other
consideration was ever claimed by the lady than
that of a credit, on account, to her husband.
The jury, after being out a short time, and
fully comprehendng the case, returned the fol-
lowing verdict: eve, the jury, find the defend
ant guilty, and do further find that Sarah Watts
is entitled to her freedom" nj.
