LAW REPORTS. The Trustees of Richmond Academy, j> Assum ,,. John Forsyth. . ) “ lt ‘ This was an action of assumpsit brought ,,n a promissory n«te made by the defen- .laiit to 11 the Trustees ofRichmond Aca demy. n At the appearance term the de fendant objected ore tenus at the bar, to the declaration, on two grounds : First —that the trustees are not a corpoiate body, and therefore cannot maiutain an action; and, secondly—that if they are, and can sue, they must sue by attor ney, and this must be an attorney in fact, whose name must appear in the declara tion, thus : “The Trustees of Richmond Academy who sue by their attorney, W. W. H. <fcc.” By the Court.—There is no act of the General Assembly which expressly incorporates the Trustees of Richmond Academy, and in so many words declares them a body corporate. But the charter which incorporates the University, de clares all public Schools to be parts and members of the University, (Prin. Die. 424,) and by the act of 1783, (M. and C. Dig. 133,) Commissioners are appointed for the purpose of selling lots in Augusta, and erecting an Academy, with power to make bv-l iws, *fce.; and by various acts of the General Assembly the Trustees of Richmond Academy and iheir successors ire recognized, and empowered to sell and lease lots, and do other acts for the benefit of the institution. And by the act of 1819, (Lamar’s Dig. 28,) thev are ex pressly A’co^nized as a Corporation and part of the U Diversity, and authorised to use a common seal Taking therefore she repeated recognition by the legislature, «oid the long acquaintance of the commu nity as sufficient evidence of the fact, Tam ‘repelled tg consider the Tms'ees of P tchmond Academy a cor porate hod v,with all tlie powers incident to such an institu tion ; and besides, in the present instance the defendant has under Ids hand treated with \i6ia in that character, and, whether a corporate body or Dot, they are hv law •expressly authorised to sell the lands upon a credit, and the very note now the sub ject of this suit, was given for some of these lands. Having then in that charac ter a right to sell, they certainly must have the right by the same law. to sue for, and recover the money. 2d. The second objection has no foun dation in.law. A corporation aggregate must appear by attorney, because it is im possible for it to appear in person ; and therefore, although before the statute of Westm 2, (13 Edw. l f ) Ch. 10, both plaintiff and defendant must have appear ed in person, and could not have appeared by attorney without special licence from the King, yet corporations aggregate did then of necessity appear bv attorney, con stituted by their common seal. But in England, since that statute; and in Geor gia, as well by that statute as by the con stitution, ali persons (who are capable of making an attorney) may appear by at torney, or in person, or both. The de fendant mistakes when be thinks this means an attorney in fact, and that his name must be inserted in the declaration in the manner he contends for. It means an attorney at law who may prosecute and defend suits in a court of justice, and who mav be appointed by an individu d simple warrant under bis hand, or bv a corporation under its common seal, this being the only wav in which it can mani fest its will Fetne Coverts must still, notwithstanding this statute and the con stitution appear in person, and infants, idiots and lunatics, bv guardian or pro- zhein amy, all these being incapable of ap pointing an attorney. 1 Field. Prac. 63 116. The plaintiff’s attorney has his, I warrant under the seal of the corporation, j he wishes therefi kins, became the administrator on his es tate, and possessed himself of the planta tion and negroes, and then prevented the plaintiff, Dr. M’Whorter, from performing his contract, by refusing to let him attend to the negroes, &c.- Upon this the plain tiff brought an action on the case, in the Mayor’s Court, against the defendant, to which the defendant pleaded several pleas, amounting in substance to this :— That defendant was not individually liable, and that if the plaintiff had any cause ot action it was against him as adminitrator. The Mayor, (the Hon. Nicholas Ware J then presiding, sanctioned the pleas and dis missed the plaintiff’s action. The plaintiff complains of error in this decision of bis honor the Mayor, and con tends i hat he could not have sustained an action on the conn act against the admin istrator, because he could not allege per formance, nor shew any excuse for non performance, so as to make the estate liable ; and that as he was prevented by the wrongful act of the defendant from performing his contract, injury had been clone to him for which the defendant is individually liable in an action on tint case, for a tort, and that in no case, can the es tate of Malone be answerable. By the Court.—The plaintiff has cer-. tainly received an injury by the interfer ence of the defendant, and as the estate of Malone is not liable for the acts of the ad ministrator, no action on the case can be maintained against the defendant in that character ; nor can the plaintiff support an action agaiust him as administrator on the contract, because he cannot aver and prove performance on his part, or shew an excuse for non-performance. 1 Chitty’s Plea 309. And as the loss to the plaintiff is not damnum absque injuria, he is of course entitled to a remedy against the person who caused the injury. If then the defendant, after he became legally possessed of the estate of Malone, made use of the power he had, and prevented the plaintiff from pe forming liis contract, he has caused an injury for which lie is in law liable in damages to the plaintiff. It seems to me that the action was well con ceived, and ought not to have been dis missed ; and that if the plaintiff can make out his case, he is entitled to recover.— The decision of the Court below is there fore reversed, and the cause ordered to be reinstated and to proceed. Judgment reversed, WM. SCHLEY, Judge. -—■««>««« ‘ From the Mobile Register. FLORIDA INDIANS. Pensacola, June 20th. On the 20th ul f . Colonel White, hav ing been authorised bv the President of the United States, to procure information in regard to the disposition of the Flori da Indians to remove to the West of the Mississippi, held a talk with the Headmen and Chiefs at the Florida Agency. We have been politely favoured with permis sion to lay the following before our read ers. Talk to the Indians by Col. White. My friends and brothers.—Your great father the President sends to his Seminole children his friendship and the pipe of peace. Among his red and white children he must keep peace ; they are of the same blood arri bone and have alike received their breath from the same Great and Good Spirit. Complaints have reached your Great Father’s ears, that your lands are bad, and that they cannot be cultiva ted to give you corn, peas, and potatoes ; tfiat tHe deer is also destroyed and that the wild foH is fled to other countries ; that you drink pond water, and are trou bled with musquetoes and that some of his red children have gone out upon the lands of the white people and stolen thdr cattle and hogs. These complaints have disturbed your Great Father so much, that he has sent me to see if they are true; and he assures his red children, that if they behave well he will continue to be their friend. When you were hungry he fed you : when you were naked he clothed you ; and when you were starving he sent vou corn and beef. And he is angry because some of your bad men have robbed and killed bis white children. This must not be.— His white children must plant their corn, and raise their cattle, and smoke their pipe in peace. And the deer and the cattle must not field. The Pi for planting, an iug and planting Nj and is therefore legally^iuthorised to ap pear for them, which he has done by bringing this action and signing his name their attorney. The exceptions are lor these reasons all overruled, and the ^ e f p ndantordered to answer over. Exceptions overruled. WM. SCHLEY, Judge. ortcr, A ins. ) Certiorari, Jacob G up Whortcr, Vs. Anderson IVatk This was certiorari directed to the Mayors Court of the city of Augusta, re quiring the Mayor to certify and send up kis proceedings in the cause, in order that the alleged error of that Court might be corrected. The proeedings have accord ingly been sent up, and the facts stated in the pleadints are these—to wit: The plaintiff had been employed as a physician, surgeon and apothecary, by one Isham Malone, to attend the negroes on his plantation for one year, at the price of one hundred dollars. Shortly after, and be fore the expiration of the stipulated time, Malone died, and the defendant Dr. Wat dren shah hunt i ted in the same s plenty of lands g too; but hunt- o together; and is Seminole chil- ntry, where thev can chase the deer without troubling the plantations of his white children. When the red men and the white come together they make many troubles ; their bad and lazy men cheat and steal and quarrel and fight; they drink too much rum. The great and good spirit has so order ed that all men, white and Red, must work for their food and their clothes, and your father the President is tired of sending these things to you. He is a friend to the Red Men, and lie offers you a fine country over the big water of the' Misissippi. In that country you can plant corn, and raise cattle ; and there you can hunt the deer the buffallo, the bear and wild fowl, and get plenty .juf skins to sell to the whites.— In that country you will not be troubled with bad white men, and your chiefs will be your Fathers. And your father the President will keep away ail bad Indians from you, and yourselves and your chil dren, and your children’s children will be happy, for that country will be yours, and you will live in peace. If you take bad counsel and refuse to take that country to yourselves, here your children will die with sickness and hun ger ; and there will be none of them left to tell where the Seminole is ; you will tall like the leaves of the trees in the win ter, and the tribe ofSeminoles will be no more. Your Father the President is the friend of the Red men and wishes the Seminoles to have many children and that they may be a great and friendly nation. For this purpose he now offers you a large and fine country :• and to enable you to go, he will give to each Indiau a rifle, a blanket, and a ket le : He will provide you with all provisions and necessaries on the road, and for one year after you get to that country; and to every one of you who have made bouses and fences here lie will pay in mo ney for them. The President says too that he will ne ver ask you to sell that country which he gives to you : and that there you will drink running water, and you & your young men will grow large and be strong. BuUifyou stay here you cannot live without stealing, which will make your Great Father so angry, that he will send Soldiers among you, and to stay with you and to destroy you if you kill the white men. He now offers you a good country and a great deal of money and provisions. Do not therefore listen to bad counsel, but take them for this sickly country where you now are. If you do not, in a dozen moons your bad men mav do wrong again, and your great father will then send sol diers and destroy your Towns, and drive you from your lands, and will not give you any more. Reply of the Head Chief Flicks to the Talk delivered by the Commissioner Col. White. Hicks. I meet you as a brother and friend, and am glad to see you. I am an Indian. The upper nation have a great many half breeds, who have long talks, we do not know much, can’r read books, and want to have short and true talks. I was lately in Washington and have to sav the same now, I did in the great White House, to our great Father the President. I have not forgotten what I said then. I want to know who made such false report to the President; unless we hear the name of the man we shall think it is a crooked talk —when we were in Washington we refu sed to go over the Mississippi and I thought I was to stay herein peace. My Indians have done mischief, they will be punished bv the white men’s laws. I have done all I could to keep them within the country given us bv the Treaty. The A- gent knows it. The Secretary of War, told me to mind what was said to me,which I have done, we have suffered a good deal in moving—we are now yetting fixed in our homes, and have plenty of deer, shall raise corn—we are unwilling to move—we told the great Father that we had bad land and water and wanted the Big Swamp— he granted it and we are contented, and when mv head turns with my face behind mv back, then I may talk another talk.— If I had wanted to sell our lands we would have got our agents to write to the Presi dent. I have two men who have been o- ver the Mississippi and they say it is bad country, where shells cut out the mocasins, and bad Indians live there who would de stroy ns. The lands there belong to them. The Secretary of War asked if we were unwilling to let. any of onr men go if they were willing, I f old him no. But none are willing to go. T have moved once and suf fered much, and do not wish to go again— you tell me we will all die horp—I think we shall all die tbpre too. The White and Red men are all made by one Being, the Great Spirit, and all have to die. I look upon vou as mv Brother, and if I were to give you a talk you did not like you would not he pleased—we have just been making some new laws, to govern our people and punish those who do wrong, and if they do not keep peace and live on their lands we shall punish them. I want you to tell the President they are learning more sense.— ^ome of tlie officers and white men are here, I want to know if they' ever heard of my having two talks. The white man who told the President w’e wanted to go, told a be, and ought to be whipped—I wonder if he lias no name !—Our coun try here is not as good as that, we left.— But if a man has’ a good looking woman for hts wife, he loves to keep her—so it is with us, if we have a bad country we love t^,keep it. In drv seasons we make bad crops, in wet good oops—onr voting men arelazy, but those who do not fear to hurt their hands too much can make plenty to eat. Jumper Orator said “I think your voting men will never behave bad again, thev have got more sense.” Hicks, “ I wa3 told in Washington we were to. have no more provisions, and we do not expect i r . I understand that if our horses or cattle go across the line we must not go and get them. This is not the way to make us friendly. If the cat tle of the whites come into our lines, they come and get them. If we can’t go out to get ours, they ought not to come.in to get theirs. This wiftcreate bad feelings.” Miconope said, ‘ I spoke a few words in Washington and will speak a few more. The land at Alachua was mine. The Spaniards had no right to sell it to the United States, I think. I ought to have it. I am however satisfied with the Treaty, here my naval string was cut; the earth drank the blood, which makes me love it. I was raited in the country, and it is a poor one, I love it, and do not wish to leave it- Copy of a letter from tie Hon.J M- I hit*' the Hon. James Barbou r > secretary of War. Pensacola, June 15th, 1827. an*4 SlR T In PUrS " anCe ° f the inst rnctians, and au.homv, contained in your official letter of the 26tl, of February last I en tered upon the duties with which’l was charged by that commission, immediately a ter m ^ arnval 1H this Territory, and the w ;Tr ? d corres P° r ndence and negotiation will inform you of the result of my exer tions to accomplish the wishes of the Go- thklv'V a “ d r l ° re , lievetlie People of this Territory, from the evils of an In dian population immediately on their bor ders. b rom the. complaints which have been so repeatedly made, of the influence of the agents of the Government, and of traders who reside contiguous to, and in tne nation, in creating prejudices against contemplated negotiations, and bv impro per interference, and advice, obstructing the natural current of the wishes of the Indians, I deemed it proper to employ special agents, to go into the nation and ascertain thoroughly their view’s, on the s bject of removal to the West of the Mississippi, before it was known I had any authority on the subject. They were instructed to ascertain as far as practicable, whether the bodv of the nation itself, uneontroled by the influence to which I have alluded, or the authority of their own chiefs, would be disposed to emigrate, and I regret to say, there is a decided repugnance to it, among all class es of the tribe; and I am satisfied that those who have written to the Depart ment of War, suggesting their willingness to go, have consulted more their own wishes, than any correcu knowledge or information of the disposition of the Indians. ‘ - l lie causes which have produced this decided repugnance are, 1st. Their entire igno -ance of thecoun- trv, to which it is proposed to remove them. 2d. Tneir attachment to the land of their nativity, which operates more strongly on savage than civilized commu nities. 3d. Their fear of the Indian tribes in that quarter, and an apprehension that they would he all exterminated. The extension of their Northern boun dary line, and the payment of the sum appropria ed at the first session of the late Congress in provisions, has operated as auxiliary causes, t 0 make them better sa tisfied with their local on, than thev otherwise would have been. There are obstacles in the way of any negotiation with them, that can only be removed by an actual examination of the country it self, and a positive stipulation on the part of the Government of the Urtlfed Stales, to protect them against the intrusions or aggressions of those who inhabit that country. That they must eventually bp removed, or perish, I think there can be no question. The Territory which has been given to them in the Treaty of Camp Moultro and the removal of the Northern boundary, in conformity with one of its provisions, contains land enough capable of cultivation to support a popu lation of the number composing the Sem inole tribe, if it were cultivated with the care and economy usually employed bv our industrious white population. But, with their habits of life and ignorance of the arts of husbandry and agriculture, it is impossible that they can live within the present assigned limits. 1 understand that Gen. Gaines has made a report on this subject, from a more minute examina tion of the country than I was able to give it; I shall, therefore, only refer to his report for an accurate detail of facts. It is exceedingly difficult to make them believe, that any plan proposed bv the Government Is for their benefit. 'The traditions of their fathers, and the history of the past, has impressed them with some melancholy forebodings of their’ future destiny. They receive with great dis trust any proposition for the amelioration of their condition, proceeding from our government, and it will require something more than promises to convince them that the humane plan of colonization, recom mended by the late administration and improved and digested under the present, will be conducive to their improvement and happiness. As the government how ever, has discharged its obligation to hu manity, by offering them an exchange highly beneficial to themselves ; it now remains fur it to discharge a duty, equally imperious to the people of this Territory, by confining the Indians to their bounda ries, and thus secure the inviolability of the persons, and protect the property, of the inhabitants of the Territory, until the Indians shall discover that they cannot live there, and petition for the exchange; or until Congress shall change the present policy, by which they are governed, of treating with them as independent nations and take them under absolute cbntroul and legislate for them as minors, incompetent to take care of their own affairs. I take great pleasure in saying, that every facility and assistance in his power was afforded me by the agent, during my visit to the nation, and I had every reason to believe that he gave his hearty co-ope ration to assist me in executing the wishes of the government. I consider it highly important, to con tinue two ifiilitary cantonments ift the in terior of the country, to confine the In dians within their limits until they have become permanently located. I would also most respectfully recom mend that a deputation of the chief? be sent over the Mississippi, to examine the country, under the direction of some dis creet person, who is friendly to their col onization there. The names which I en close Will perhaps be better qualified than any others of the tribe, being the most in telligent and trust worthy. Although I have not succeeded in car rying into effect the humane intentions of the government, my visit there will not \ be without its benefits. The Indians were assured, in positive terms, that Tor any injury in future to the persons or pro- j perty of our citizens, the aggressor only would not be Holden responsible; but the ; nation itself, whose duty it was to con- | iroul their people and to prevent such I outrages. They appear entirely friendly j and I do not think will be disposed again ' to commit any improprieties. Tjie presence of a military force, how- i ever, is a salutary check upon them. I have the honor to be with high considerations of respect, your most obedient servant, JOS. M. WHITE. SUGAR, COFFEE, AND BAGGING. 200 Pieces first quality Hemp Bagging-, 15 Hhd*.
