Kent v. Armistead , 4 Munf. 72 ( 1813 )

The president pronounced the court’s opinion, “that, (without deciding either of the points stated in the bills of exceptions,) the declaration is insufficient to support the action ; it not being stated therein that the slave in question belonged to, or was the property of the plaintiff, now defendant.” ^(1.)

Judgment reversed, and entered in favour of the plaintiff in error.
