Supreme Court of North Carolina December 5, 1850 (Walton v. . Walton)

Pearson, J.

The defendants have separately filed two exceptions, but they are in substance the same, and may be disposed of together. The first raises this question ; a father puts several negroes into the possession of a child, and dies intestate, without having taken back the ne-groes. One of the negroes died in the life time of the father.
