Ilia Honor peremptorily refused to do this.
Mr. Btsven* thin said he would appeal to tlie able reporter,
(Mr. Drake.) to insert it tn hie report of the proceeding*,
that the pabiie might aot be deluded by the
conduct of the magistrate
Lewie Cooper efllrmed?Defendant* offered to prore by
Mr. Cooper, that Kline, lb a conversation which be had
With thie witness, stated the conversation which he had
with Lewis and 1 lanway in an entirely different light
from the manner In which he (Kline) has stated it here,
and further, that Dr. Pierce informed the witness that ]
be was indebted to Mr. Uanway for saving his life.
The magistrate refused to allow the examination, or
even to make an entry of this offer on hie notes.
Kxsmined by the Magistrate?I went there at from T

there about M o'clock, I saw Joseph Scarlet there.
By Mr. Brent?Had yea any conversation with Hanwsy
yr Lewis about the act or Congress relative to the
appreCension of ftigitive slaves?
Answer?I have heard Mr, Lewis gay that it was an
obnoxious law, but that it ought net to be resisted; It
would have to be obeyed; I nevtr heard Iianway say
anythirg about it; I never heard Mr. Lewis aay that he
as willing to batbor, feed, and clothe fugitive alavas; I

summoned by Squire Pownall before I came to the

ssktd. I'pon what evidence did you return that verdict.' I
A ? It was found upon tbe ;???f mmlem examination ; ,
tbeie was no person who raw the man until he was dead;
