|a Roane was indicted for the murder of a slave, Levin, a waiter in the tavern of his master, McIntire. Roane deposed that he had been in bed one night when he heard a disturbance; he awoke to find a man running out of his kitchen. He called to the man and received no answer; he then shot at him and he fell. Roane claimed that he had not meant to shoot Levin, only to fire above him, and that when he discovered the dead man's identity he immediately went to tell McIntire. No animosity was proved to have existed between Roane and Levin. It was deposed that there had been several break-ins in the neighbourhood in the time leading to the killing and that many lived in fear of the depredations of runaway slaves. Roane's counsel requested the jury to acquit him if it found that he had had reason to believe Levin had committed or was about to commit a felony, of if he had believed Levin had committed one of the recent felonies in the neighbourhood, or if he had intended to fire above Levin and not at him. The judge instructed the jury to find that if Roane had discharged his gun recklessly then he was guilty of manslaughter. There was a verdict of manslaughter, from which Roane appealed. The Supreme Court found that there was no justification for the homicide but that Roane had not intended to kill. Verdict of manslaughter affirmed.
