Crawford v. Slye
Decided March 15, 1834
Petition for freedom. The importation of the slave (the petitioner) was alleged to be justified Under the 11th section of the Act of Maryland, 1796, c. 67, which requires a list of the slaves so imported, distinguishing their sex. The list merely calls the slave “ Jo.”
