No. 43. ] 8 proof, by affidavit of a credible free person, white or black, that such person was born free, or has been received and reputed in the place where he generally resided as free, such affidavit is received as suffi- cient evidence to entitle such person of color to the certificate required by law, and to secure to him ever thereafter all the rights and privi- leges of a free man of color. The Clerk of the County of Alexandria also states to the committee, that, since his residence in ...that county, which commenced in 1792, he has never known a man of color taken up as a runaway, who has not had ample time afforded him, upon his allegation of his right to freedom, to procure evidence of the fact, in all instances aided in procurring such evidence by the officer who had charge of him, and in all instances upon the production of such evi- dence such person has been immediately discharged, without any claim for jail fees. The conclusions from the foregoing legal provisions are, first, that a free man of color can never be arrested or questioned when he has a copy of the instrument of his emancipation, duly certified.
