a case that resulted from the actions of enslaved africans and in which these african captives wouldppear in courtrooms to assert their rights to freedom. >> judson moved the court to the armistead itself in order to give testimony from antonio. a slave who served as cabin boy to the slain captain. antonio recounted what he had witnessed the night of the revolt. and in the armistead's hold, crowded with africans in custody, the, he identified those who led the revolt. at the hearing, judge judson ordered the u.s. marshall to hold the adult africans in custody. he also ordered that antonio and three young girls purchased as slaves in cuba be held in custody to serve as witnesses. the testimony revealed both criminal and civil testimony. judson referred the criminal questions to the circuit court for that u.s. district of connecticut. and he set a date to hear the salvage claims. the judiciary act of 1789 established both district and circuit courts for the federal traditional system. among the powers granted to district court, with the authority to hear cases involving a maritime comm
