| Short Summary: | Interpreting the act of 1831 that naed trusts when the trustee has legal tutle are made to descend. Holding that " The right to reimburse himself, the heavy costs and charges incurred in the attempt to sustain the will of Cramphin out of the very trust in his hands, must clearly bring this case within the exception of the act of 1831." Note that the court of appeals never mentions that slaves are involved in the trust. |
