v
Kell
agreement of counsel
The Petitioners acquired no legal right to freedom. If they are entitled in Equity can they recover in this form of action? Does a voluntary promise to emancipate give an equitable claim? Will equity enforce a [illegible] pact? Is there any [illegible] moral obligation to [illegible] which will stand in the place of a consideration? Can any contract between master & slave give a Right either at law or in equity?
