CHAPTER XXXIV.

An Act for Vesting the Property of Certain Negroes in the heirs of Mark Newby.

Whereas, it is the earnest request of Ezekiel Arrington, who inter-married 
with one of the heirs of Mark Newby, late of Perquimons county, that the 
property of certain negroes emancipated by the said Mark Newby, in his 
lifetime, may by an Act of this Assembly be vested in the heirs of the said 
Mark Newby:

I. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and 
it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the heirs of the said 
Mark Newby shall have full power and authority to hold and possess, sell and 
dispose of, sue for and recover the said negroes, in the same manner as they 
may any other part or parcel of their property; and finally, that the right to 
the said negroes shall vest and continue in the heirs of the said Mark Newby, 
as fully and completely, as if no such emancipation had ever taken place; any 
law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
