The freedom of t'he party is thus established at once, without depending as fore -merly ongthe caprice or negligence of heirs sor executors in signing the necessary papers.

Cap. - Slaves and their issue are expressly, by these and other authorities, treated as property liable to mortgage or other lien and, together with the lands, buildings, &c. To which they give value, they have accordingly been pledged as security to British subjects and others, in full reliance upon this legislative1 sanction, to an immense amount. A passage or two, in the judgment given, on the 6th November last, in the case of the woman named Grace, by the venerable and learned judge who presides in the High Court of Admiralty, may, on this subject, be referred to as unquestionable authority. - See Report of Lord Stowell's judgment, published by Haggard, from his Lord ship's notes.
