handle is hein.slavery/ussccases0272 and id is 1 raw text is: JANUARY TERM, 1850. 183 Taylor v. Taylor et al. against these defendants, or either of them, - no foundation laid creating a liability, legal or equitable, to deliver the slaves to the complainant, or to account for their value or services; they seem to have been made .parties, one and all, as witnesses to establish a supposed right of the intestate to the property, under the idea that, from their connection with the families of the for- mer owners of the life interest, they might be able to give some information on the subject. (Story's Eq. Pl., % 234, 244, 245, 510, 519; Cooper's P1. 41, 42; 2 Johns. Oh. 413.) There are other objections taken: to the relief sought in this form, which are worthy of consideration; but as the ground above stated disposes of the case, it is not important that we should examine them. The complainant having, in our judgment, failed to set forth any foundation for relief, the right to the discovery, which is claimed as incidental, of course fails with it. (Story's Eq. Pl., § 312 and note; 17 Maine, 404; 3 Edw. 107,; 3 Beav. 284.) The decree below must be affirmed. Order. This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the rec- ord from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Dis- trict of Columbia, holden in and for the County of Alexandria, and was argued by counsel; on consideration whereof, it is now here ordered, adjudged, and decreed br this court, that the decree of the said Circuit Court in this cause be, and the same is hereby, affirmed, with costs.
