 The act of l8l0, making slaves real es- tate, was only designed 10 change their mode ol descent, and conveyance; and was no, intended 10 deprive the owner of the proper and appropriate remedies, then iu use, for thefecorery Of the possession of such prop erty, when unjustly deprived of. ii; or for the recovery of damages for injuries infic- ted upon it.

 The action of rePlevin, therefore, lies for a slave, notwithstanding the passage of that act.

 An instrument cannot be considered or construed as deed of gid, when il express ses upon its face, a grant made for valuable consideration. The parties are estopped to deny the consideration thus expressed.

 A mmor may contract for, and receive d deed to a slave

 A decd should be construed soa to make every part of 1t operative, if possible; and Il the deed cannot operate as intended bv the parties, such construction should be given It as to make 1t operate in some othermanner.

 In this country, real and personal estale stand upon tie same footing, as to limitations and cnumerations contained in conveyanecs. ana sale may be made, creating a future estate in personal property, the vendor re- tamng the right of possession for life, TOT a shorter period

 A deed conveying a slave for valuable consideration, with reservation of posses sion to the vendor during his life, or pleas ure, is valid.

 The delivery of slave to daughter, bv her father, the subsequent and undsputed possession of her husband after marriage, with the aequlescenee of the father during his life, are circumstances alIording strong, if not conclusive, evidence of title in the son-in-law.

 The declarations of vendor made sub sequent to the sale, and in the absence of the vendee, cannot be given in evidence to in- peach the validity of the sale.

 More especially, are such declarations in- competent to impeach the consideration ex- pressed in deed, executed by the vendor Affirmed.
