•"T'NIS bill, answer ar.d deposition®, to cave time, were left by consent to be determined by the court ; and on opening the bid and answer.it appeared the plaintiff claimed certain Negroes under a late conveyance by his father, who, about 20 years ago.) *353conveyed them to the defendant’s father, as he alledges, upon trust, who always afterwards kept them.

The counsel ior the defendant argued, that the bill ought to be dismissed, for that the plaintiff states choses in action, and does not shew he gave a valuable consideration for them.

Taylor, Judge,

allowed the objection to be good ; but on the motion of the defendant, he permitted the father of the plaintiff, who was a defendant, to be made plaintiff, and put off the hearing 15o a future time, in order that the amendments might be raade.-
