When we only look to the facts in this case, we see on one side a man largely indebted, hiding his property, and in fact destroying it, to prevent his creditors from reaping any benefit there from, and in this case, Shipman has been base enough to emancipate the slave to injure and ruin his security. We feel disposed to view him in a light but little below that of a felon. But there are two sides to every question; here is also the case of a person claiming the benefit of the ordinance of Congress of 1787, for the government of the Northwestern Territory, which declares, that in that country there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude.” 420:, the Supreme Court of Missouri was faced with the decision of whether it should declare a slave free based on the laws of a free territory or state.

These acts of the owner surely amounted to the introduction of slavery in Illinois.” 405:

I incline to consider the plaintiff in the light of a purchaser from Shipman, with a full knowledge of Smith’s lien.”
