Abstract
Thomas Bullock owned Jack McAfee and other slaves to whom he granted manumission in his will. All slaves who were twenty-one and unmarried had the opportunity of "going to Liberia or some other place of freedom out of the bounds of these United States." McAfee charges that Eleanor Bullock, Thomas's widow, refuses to allow him to emigrate, keeps him in servitude, and is keeping the proceeds from his hire. McAfee is suing Bullock for freedom, back wages, and seeks a restraining order to prevent his removal from the state.
Result: Partially granted.
