| Short Summary: | Appealing a conviction for allowing free negros and slaves into a retain store at night. The state argued that an appellate process for a penalty or fine should be sued for writ of error. However, the court concluded on the grounds of 1785 and overruled the state's motion to dismiss because the act of 1785 allowed parties a less arduous remedy in order to appear on the record for appeal. |
