Notes
a. Note:   Court Record: JAMES DUNCAN and wife v. The Administrator of PARISH SELF, deceased; Fr Chatham; Supreme Court of North Carolina; 5 N.C. 466; 1 Mur. 466; July, 1810, Decided. A gift of a chattel to a person, with a reservation to the donor of a life estate therein, is good, and vests a property in the donee in the event of his surviving the donor. Parish Self made a gift by parol of a negro girl slave to his daughter Elizabeth, reserving to himself the said negro during his life. He kept the said negro in his possession until his death, and his daughter survived him. She having intermarried with James Duncan, this action of detinue was brought by them against the administrators of the estate of Parish Self, to recover the said negro girl. The defendants insisted that no title vested in Elizabeth, the daughter, by the gift; that the reservation of the property to the donor during his life was in fact a reservation of the entire interest in the negro, and nothing was left for the daughter, inasmuch as the law will not allow a remainder to be created in a chattel after a life estate, except it be done by executory devise or by deed of trust. The case was sent to this Court upon the question, Whether the gift vested such an interest in Elizabeth, the daughter, as enables her husband and herself to recover the negro. By the Court. We are of opinion that the daughter, Elizabeth, having survived her father, the donor, the property in the negro girl vested absolutely in her at his death, and that the plaintiffs are entitled to judgment.
