Supreme Court of Louisiana March 15, 1845 (Andrews v. Chapman)

Martin, J.

The defendant is appellant from a judgment which decrees the property of a slave, claimed by him, to the plaintiff. He claims under-a sale from Johnson. The plaintiff does not deny the sale, nor does he attribute any improper motives to the defendant; but avers, that he was deceived by his vendor, the purchase being evidently a non domino.
