520 |a Trover for some cattle. The defendant Moore, a constable, levied on some cattle belonging to one Bridget Weaver. The cattle was then bought by the defendant Cryer. The plaintiff's case was that before being levied on, Bridget Weaver had sold the cattle to him. At the sale the cattle had been claimed as a gift from Bridget Weaver by a woman who was generally reputed to be the plaintiff's wife; he was a mulatto and she was white. The defendants offered in evidence judgments in their favour levied against Bridget Weaver, but the judge rejected them for being older than a year and a day. The judge also declined the defendants' plea to instruct the jury that a relationship between a mulatto man and a white woman should not be regarded as a marriage as such marriages were contrary to the law of the state; he instead instructed the jury that it could be so regarded. The court found for the plaintiff and the defendant appealed. The Supreme Court granted a new trial on the grounds that Moore was justified in his actions even though he acted on a dormant judgment. It also affirmed that the plaintiff's relationship with the woman with whom he lived could be regarded as a marriage.
