Legislation Regarding Slaves and Ser
Observation-Disclosures Slaves
Other Curious Facts.
by Clarence Fl. Poe in the Charlotte
Observer.l
I have recently had the pleasure
of examining a copy of a rare old
book, found in the library of the late
Col. L. L. Polk. 1t is a bulky, leath-
er-bound volume of 700 thick and
yellowed pages, with old-fashioned
f-like SIS, equally old-fashioned style
of capitalization and besprinkled
here and there with typographical
ornaments that have since gone out
of use. The title page is as fol-
lows:
claws of the State of North Car
DINA. Published, according to Act
of Assembly, by James Iredell, now
n of the Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
Edenton. Printed by Hodge & Will
lis, printers to the State of North
Carolina. M, DCC,XCI."
This book, giving in full the more
important "acts of the Assembly" of
North Carolina from 1714 to 1871,
has interested me greatly, and it is
perhaps not unnatural to that
it would be of interest to other North
Carolinians. And while there are
other copies of the book extant, the
number is so very small as to make
it practically out of the question for
/ per cent of my readers to learn di-
eighteenth century statutes. Besides,
the great amount of uninteresting
matter necessarily included in a
work of this kind, is likely to repel
most of that small number of read
ers to whom the book is available. So
it has occurred to me that it might
be worth while to bring to your at
tention the more noteworthy features
of the more important acts recorded
in this ancient volume. The book,
as I have suggested, does not give in
full all the laws passed from 1714 to
1871; this, of course, would be i'm
possible in a work of 700 pages. The
careful threshing of Judge Iredell
eliminated nearly all the laws obso-
lete in 1871 or repealed before that
time, and all the private acts of the
Assembly. Of these acts only the tt
ties are given, followed by the word
Obsolete" or "private" or the date
of repeal. It is to this manne of
sitting that the elimination of many
of the laws of the 1714-1715 Assem-
bly, is due, or as the book has it:

was one "for Liberty of Conscience"
and for accepting the affirmation of
Quakers, and that the tenth, can
Act Relating to the Biennial and 9TH
er Assemblies; and regulating Elec-
tions and Members" was repealed
by His Majesty's order"
But of course we can't go through
the book in this haphazard fashion,
noting on page after page the things
that most impress us. Instead let us
take up some of the subjects NOSE
likely to entertain the reader, and
give in order the statutes bearing on
these subjects. It will perhaps be just
as well to consider first the statutes
regarding slaves and slavery.
I-LEGIsLATION REGARDING SLAVES
AND SERVANTS.
The first statute regarding SER
wants and slaves that I have noticed
is chapter "a of the Acts of the As
sembly of 1741, which met at Eden
ton. The first section of this act de-
clares that "no person whatsoever,
being a Christian, or of Christian
p~arentape \ X x imnOrted or
brought into this Province, shall be
deemed a servant for any term of
years" unless by indenture or agree
ment. This is followed by other reg
ulations regarding christian SER
wants" If disobedient or unruly,
they might be carried before a JUS
tice of the peace and sentenced to not
more than 81 lashes if they ran away
and we're recaptured, they were to
serve double the time so lost. This
law also provided that if any person
should presume to whip a Christian
servant naked" without an order
from a magistrate, such person
should forfeit 40 shillings proclama-'
ton money, to the party injured.
Servants might carry complaints to
magistrates who might bind masters
or mistresseS "to answer cOmDlaint

not exceeding 80 lashes. Free per-
sons trading with slaves were fined
"treble the value traded for" or if
unable to pay this, themselves sold
as servants. Any free person brought
over as a slave could recover twice
his value and compel his abductor to
return him to his own country.
Runaway slaves, acknowledging no
owner, were committed to jail and
advertised for two months; then, if
owner did not appear, hired out by
the authorities. An iron dollar was
put about the necks of all slaves so
sold.
Masters could designate one slave
on each plantation to carry a gun.
No other slave was permitted to car
ry any kind of weapon. Only slaves
wearing liveries were permitted to.
leave the plantations without passes.
No slave was allowed, con any pre-
tence whatsoever, to raise any
horses, cattle or hogs" Runaway
slaves could be outlawed.
Negroes, mulattoes or Indians,
giving false testimony in courts, were
severely punished: every such of
fender X X X shall have n a
nailed to the pillory, and there stand
for the space of hour, and the
said ear to be cut off, and thereafter
the other ear nailed in like manner,
and cut off, at the expiration of
other hour" The offender might al
so be sentenced to "39 lashes, well
laid on, on his or her bare back, at
the common whipping-post."
FREEING SLAVES
No slave could be set free except
for m]eritorious services, Judged and
allowed by the County Court" Any
negro, mulatto, or Indian slave,
otherwise set free" could be taken up
and sold by the church wardens, and
the money applied to the use of the
parish. ~(Speaking of Indian slaves,
it would be interesting to know how
many of this class there were).
During the Revolutionary War it
was asserted that Tories liberated
slaves and turned them loose for the
purpose of disturbing the peace, so
that in this period emancipation was
made more difficult than before. No
one could free a slave except for
meritorious services and by express
permission of the County Court.
Slaves otherwise emancipated were
turned over to the sheriff and sold to
the highest bidder, the person deliv-
ering them to the sheriff getting one
fifth of the selling price. The 1777
statute says that "the evil and per-
nicious practice of freeing slaves in
this State, ought at this critical and
alarming time to be guarded against
by every friend and we'll wisher to
his country"
The Assembly of 1910 went even
further, as many negroes were ego
ing at large to the terror of the good
