A slave named Isaac, belonging to one William Grav, was whipped to death by one Guy Raines. Raines was indicted for murder, and also for killing on sudden heat and passion. On the trial, Raines was permitted to introduce evidence of his own declarations as to the homicide and the circumstances of it. Those declarations were, that the negro was a very bad negro; that he had been a runaway, and been shot and had the shot in him ; that Raines was taking him to jail by order of Gray, his master ; that on the way the negro turned sullen and would not go, and Raines gave him five hundred lashes; that, when he [Raines] found that whipping would not make him go, he tied his feet and left him in order to go and get assistance ; that, at the first house he came to, he requested two women to go to the slave and see that nobody cut him loose, until Raines could go to one Young's and get further assistance.
