A Good Decision.

An ex-slave came into our lines bringing a considerable amount of his master's money in gold. He was arrested, and taken before a court, which decided that a slave could not steal; that being only a chattel, he had no more responsibility than a horse, under slave law. The ex-slave retained the money, and has his freedom too.
