Tennessee Supreme Court December 15, 1844 (Saunders v. Harris)

Reese, J.

delivered the opinion of the court.

The plaintiff in error, with others, was sued by the defendants in error, in an action of detinue for negro slaves, and verdict and judgment were rendered against them, to reverse which they have prosecuted their appeal in error to this court. To this reversal, we think they are entitled upon two grounds.
