the Supreme Court, delivered on Monday, 9Th of
December, by Justice Buchanan, and published
to-day, that the act of the legislature, approved
March 10th, 1855, is declared to be void of consti

OF slaves by the tribunals of this State is illegal
and unconstitutional, inasmuch as emancipation,
as the law stood before this decision could be had
