Bellach v. Gabb

Supreme Court of Delaware

Decided December 15, 1805

Supreme Court of Delaware · decided 1805-12-15

Decided 1805-12-15

Chief Justice Booth.

¶1The policy or impolicy of the law has nothing to do with this decision. We consider this a penal Act, but yet it should be so construed as to remedy the mischief. The carrying out and the Negro being slave should be proved, but direct proof is not necessary. If you are fully satisfied from the evidence of the guilt of the party you will so find.

¶2Verdict for plaintiff, £100.
