The Case of tile ColoreG seom,n

The recent decision of the United State n.

The negro as before stated, belonged to a Br,;sn
schooner and was arrested by the Sheriff 81 pSh

South Carolina which prohibits free coloreS 9's Of
men from remaining at large in the port of Cb, Sea

though these, as citizens of other States can plead

The Girard VIII Case.

The Philadelphia Bulletin reports the opinion Of
Judge Grer in the United States Circuit Court, denying
the application for a new trial in the case OF the he
of Stephen Girard as the City of PHILADELPHIA, in
which the jury gave verdict for the plaintiffs. The
question involved was whether, under the laws Of
Pennsylvania, will devisng all the real estate of the
testator conveys to the devsee lands purchased by the
testator after the will is executed The court has de-
cded that it does not. Judge Grier says:
The reason why afer-purchased lands do pass
by will, even though the tesator has exposed clear.
ly his wish or intention that they should, is not be.
cause such purchase is a revocation Of the will, bd
because will is in the nature of conveyance or an
appointment of particular estate, ana consequently
the testator must have the power 10 dispose at tbe
time the will is executed Hence a devise of land,
though it operates an future, can pass only such int
rest estate the tesaor had at the time, and
nued to have till his decease. Like grant OF all q
mans estate and interest without warranty or conYe,
nant of title, it is esoppel against the grantor Or
his heir
d" Thus if a man having an equitable estate in land
devise il, and ,erward purchase the legal title, the
latter will descend TO his heir; but equity will not
hold him as trustee for the divisee Of The equitable
Or usufructory estate. On the contrary, if the tesla
tor have but the legal estate at the time he makes his
will, and afterwards purchases the equitable estate,
the devsee of the legal estate will be held as trustee
for the heir 10 whom the afterpurchased equitable es'
tate descends There is eXtingUishment Of The al
purchased title for the sake of enlaging the devise
and the heir is not esopped from averIlng that ibe de-
vsee took just such estate title as the esator had
at the date of the execution of his will Nor can the
distinction taken by the learned counsel between title
and estate avail to establish difference IN The pesen.
case. man who has neither possession nor fiSh'
has no estate in the land. He who has nothing can
convey nothing.'

There is no work in which the government of the
United States engaged that has attracted more
attention in Europe than the coast survey The
great Importance of the undertaking. and the able
manner so far, in which it has been Conducted have
attracted the attention of scientific in Europe,
and redounded to the credit and reputation of the
