Before O’Neall, J. at Chester, Fall Term, 1836, Whose report of the case is as follows : This was an action of Trover for the recovery of the value of a negro man named Ben, sold by the sheriff of Chester, as the property of the plaintiff’s father, George De Millen, aud purchased by the defendant. The case, it seemed to me, depended upon the construction of the deed from De Millen, conveying the negro for the use of his daughter.

¶2The report of the presiding judge in this case is so full and explicit, and his reasoning so satisfactory on the law giving construction to the deed, under which the plaintiff rests her claim, that it is deemed unnecessary to add any thing further in support of the views taken by him. It is therefore adopted as the opinion of the court, and the nonsuit as ordered cannot be set aside. The motion is therefore refused.
