In England ,the slavery has been prohibited as illigimate since 1102.The last one of slaves went out of existence in the 17th century.Ever since the 18th century,the African slaves are transported into London and Edenburg as charmen.However,the black slaves are not obtained through transactions so that their legal position had always been opaque and open to discussion.It is not until 1772,a black slave named James Somerse escaped and then was captured by his owner.Later he was sent to Jamaica where he helped with growing canes.On the fact that in London Somerset had been baptised ,his godfater brought out a lawsuit to the court for his godson's Habea Corpus.At that time Lord Chief Justice William Murray, Lord Mansfield, of the Court of King's Bench in the judgement of 22 june 1772 proclaimed:whatever troubles it would cause,a decision has to be there,I can't confirm that this kind of act is allowable or justified under the laws of England.So the black man should be set free.It immediately announced that the slavery was not existing in the dominion of England,the ownnership of slaves was equal to the violation of laws.This judgement had the ten to fourteen thousand slaves set free immediatedly and demonstrated the fact that the slavery in other dominions cannot be applied exatly in England.
After the case of Somerset,a scottish black slave Joseph Knight escaped lide Somerset did.The case invited another almost the same kind of judicial procedures,resulting in also basically similar judgements:slavery was not under the Scottish Laws.The last native slave ,in 1799, was set free from the hand of a coal mine owner.

Domestic slavery
Slavery was stated guilty in accordance with law in England back to 1102. The last serf disappeared in early 17th century. However, since beginning of 18th century, black slaves started to be imported into London and Edinburgh to serve English, which was not a result of slave trading in the time. Their legal status was ambiguous. Until 1772, one of the slaves named James Somerset escaped and captured by his master Charles Steuart. Somerset was then sent to the Jamaican to work in sugar farm. Because Somerset has been baptized in London, his godfather sued to the High Court with the "habeas corpus" to take court proceedings. At that time, the president of High Court of England and Wales Court of Queen's Bench, William Murray, Lord Mansfield ruled in June 22, 1772: "No matter then there is the inconvenience, but there must be a decision, I can not say that this case is permitted or approbated under the law in England; so the black should be released." This announced that slavery could not exist under the law in England. It was illegal to be an ownership of slaves.
This judgment liberated one thousand to fourteen thousand slaves and it also indicated that the slavery as legal implementation in other jurisdictions does not mean the same in England. [1] Subsequently, following "Somerset’s case," the slave, Joseph Knight, in Scotland escaped as Somerset. This case was taken to the court of Wedderburn in 1776, the result was same as the Somerset’s case: slavery did not exist under the law in Scotland. Scotland. The last slave got free from his owner of the local coal mine in 1799.
