Somersee case on slavery rule debated by Mansfield court
Postscript reports a circumstantial account of the fal pleadings before Lord Mansfeld and the King's Bench on the detention issue in the Somersee affair involving James Stewart, Esq., and a slave. Dunning defends liberty while Serjeant Davy argues against any contract of dominion over negroes and urges manumission if possible. Mansfield delays ruling, hinting a Master's action may settle the matter, likely awaiting Michaelmas term.
