When this Instrument is carefully ami properly fitted to the form of the patent, it invariably affords the most immediate immunity from the distressing “ drag ging and bearing down," sensations which accom pany nearly all cases of Visceral displacements of the abdomen, aud its skilful application is always followed by an early confession of radical relief from the patient herself. The Supporter is of sim ple construction andean be applied by the patient without further aid. Within the last two years 700 of the Utero Abdominal Supporters have been ap plied with the most happy results.

It shall be the duty of the justice of the Inferior Court, before whom the examination is had, to reduce the state ment to writing and to return the same to the Clerk of the Inferior Court of the county, who shall docket the case, stating the names of the parties, See. which shall stand for trial the first Court thereaftes, &.c. Section 3d. The Inferior Court shall cause the parties to make up an issue in volving the complainant’s right to freedom, which shall be submitted to a jury as in oth ercasesjbul either party being dissatisfied with the verdict, shall be permitted to ap peal to the Superior Court, without giving bond and security, as iu other cases. The 4th Section provides, That if the person of color sutceed, he shall be set at liberty and have a guardian appointed. Professing to pursue the remedy ap- P' inted by this Act, Iverson L. Harris, Wm. 11. Torrance and Samuel Rockwell, Esq's, presented a written petition, on be half of Patsey, and her children, to Mr. Justice David Brady Mitchell one of the Justices of the Inferior Court of Baldwin county, alledging their freedom, and that they il were fraudulently and illegally held in slavery," and claimed as slaves by Thomas Johnson, (as guardian of certain children) of Putnam county, Whereupon, the said Justice issued his order to some ministerial officer to take the body of said Patsey, and her children, and bring them before him. They were accordingly taken into custody by a constable, and five days afterwards tlie examination was taken by Justice Mitchell; his examination reduced to writing, stating his belief that there was probable ground that they were improper ly and illegally held in slavery. This ex amination was returned to the Clerk of the Inferior Court of this county, and docket ed, and at the last term of that Court, an issue was formed tube tried by a Jury. Johnson, the claimant, appeared before that Court, excepted to the legality and regularity of the proceedings, and pleaded to thejurisdiction, but was overruled. The issue was tried and the negroes succeeded in their claim of freedom; and the ease now comes before this Court by appeal. When the case was called up for trial, the counsel for Mr. Johnson announced, that before proceeding to the merits of the issue, they had certain preliminary objec tions to urge before the Court, and' Sub mitted, on a motion to dismiss the proceed ings, the following positions. l,st. That the whole proceeding was ir- | regular and illegal, inasmuch as Justice I Mitchell, before whom it was commenced, I was, pro hac vice, a judicial officer, constitu- ’ ted a Court of very limited and special j jurisdiction, and that, in the measures he ‘ had adopted, he had not strictly pursued ■ the statste, which he was bound to do. j 2d. That the Constitution of Georgia I provides, that all civil cases shall be decided ' in the county where the defendant resides. That this a civil proceeding involving the right of property, and that Johnson resides in Putnam and not in Baldwin county,'as appears by his plea to the jurisdiction before the Inferior Court. Il was stated,- and admitted by both sides, that these object’fofls Were taken'before the Inferior Court. The counsel for Patsey and her children, in reply to these objections,- insisted that Johnson came too late with his objections; that, by answering, he had admitted the jurisdiction, and had waved all irregularity by giving bond and joining issue—that ap plications to set aside proceedings for irreg ularity must be made in the first instance ami as early aS possible. That the constitutional objection shotfld 1 have been taken by Exceptions to the Opin- ■ ion of the Inferior Court, and brought tipi here by Certiorari. That this is not a suit but an issue, simi lar to that authorised in claim cases, in which the claimant comes forward 2c vohirr tarily makes himself a party.- Therefore, Johnson cannot insist upon the violation of . any right guaranteed by the cortstilutioTr.- That in claiirt ca’ses the oht'is lies tipoii the plaintili’ in execution. That, in the spirit of the Constitution, there is no defendant - FUItLISIIFD BY I» L. ROitiXStri Wr<jfLF NO.

This its rather a proceed-’ ing tn rem, a simple ftisue of freedom or’ slavery* It is rather in the framre of :<* ' Habeas'Corpus, the issue answering to the' return to that writ. That Mr. Johiuort had no right to complain that the proceeding was instituted in this county; for he either' brought the negroes litre# er they W-ere here’ by bis consent, &tc* That there is no law hi Georgia' whitfr contemplates or authorizes free persons of color to institute any proceeding in ilieiff own name.-; they mast, therefore,! appear’ by guardian, or counsel, or some friend,, who is a free white person. Thaly indeed, the Legislature had not the power to au thorize them to appear in person. They could not write# and are denied by law the privilege of being taught! tlrat art. To this it was replied by NJr. Johnson’s counsel that all the argument an-d authorities cited, on the other side, apply to defects of process, and not to a proceeding of this nature. That there are only two statutes in Georgia, by which persons of color mffy prosecute a proceeding to establish their freedom, that of 1770 and that of 1-835, under which this proceeding purports to have been instituted. By the former, there is a provision for the appointment of a guardian, and he must sue out bis action of trespass, in the nature <4* ravishment of ward. This is a regular action. By tlie' act of 1335, the persons of color must make their complaint in person; and it is not required to be made in writing* This must have been designed to remedy the de lay by the appointment of a guardrail un der the act ul 1770. And-tlie Justice was bound lo listen to the complainant in per son* The proceeding could be connneneerl in no other way, as there is no statute, an<f no provision in the statute of 1835, au thorizing any other mode of procedure* Persons of color can ex'ercise no right, ex-' cept that granted by statute. Free white persons cannot institute proceedings iw Court by attorney, except by virtue of ait act ol the Legislature; therefore, the gefr tlemen who presented this petition before Justice Mitchell, and in whose name it is proceeding here, had no authority to do so. The statute contemplates no person as thewc/or, but the stave himself; and mav not the want of proper parties be taken advantage of at any moment, and at any stage ol the case, when it is discovered bv tlie Court? The Justice made the order' without due examination, and this appears by the statement. Tire examination did not take place till five days after the negroes were taken into the etrstody of the officer; they had been taken, by the Justice’s older# from the custody of those to whom they were hired by Mr. Johnson. If does Mrl appear tkat the complaint was made vol-* mitarrly. These objections were all made before the Inferior Court, which was tire’ earliest period at which they could be taken# i and the only tribunal before which they i could be urged, for the statute does trot j contemplate the justice before whom the - examination is first taken, as a person be fore whom any litigation can tafke piace.il is an expartc procedure. Could, therefore, the person whose rights are to be affected by tt.e proceeding be precluded from talking advantage, before the Inferior Court, of the irregularity before thejustice who takes the statement* All proceediwgs before Inferiorjititficato ries must be strictly pursued, Os they will* be declared void. Tliere is no analogy between this and a’ claim case* Tlnr claimant brings the case into Court# and ir qitasi plaintiff; the judgments are different# and the consequences different.- Unless a claimant is present at the sale, and con ceals, by fraud, his title, it is i¥ot affectedl by the sale. But a judgment its this case would be conclusive upon all the world.- By the corrst’rtufion, no privilege is clear er than that which guarantees that’ a man shall not be called out of his county, to de*' fend bisriglits.- Nor is it necessary to tafke Exceptions and bring the questions here by CerjiorarL i The appeal brings the case up ittilstotality',' ; and we may now insist upon al 1 ! the pleas ; and exceptions taken hi the Court belbw. Il the provisions of this act a’fe enforced, i owners of slaves may be deprived of their’ I property without any oppoi fu’rtity of de- - j leiice.
