ROBERTSON v. STUART

Superior Court of North Carolina
Apr 1, 1795

A slave wrongfully taken out of the possession of A, and sold to B, and while in the possession of B sold by A to C, may be recovered by C in a suit brought in his own name.

(162) Curia vult advisari.

And at October Term, 1795, this cause was again argued, as I have understood from the counsel, and there was a judgment for the plaintiff, per ASHE and MACAY, JJ.

See Morgan v. Bradley, 10 N.C. 559, and Steadman v. Riddick, 11 N.C. 29, which latter case seems contra.
