'Haves ease in Boston.—The Boston Atlas
.'•ves the following account of a Slave case,
wl.i.h was brought before the U. S. District
Aourt ia that city a few days ago:—
A gsntletnan from Maryland, by the name of
Worthington, lost one of his slaves, and having
^*<?n informed that he had mad** his way to this
c't», Mr. Worthington came here fur the pur
P®'* of apprehending and taking him back.—
'o>n wfier his arrival, ha met the fugitive in
street; and seizing him by the collar, carri
’• him into the District Court, tn order to take
mea,ures a* tie laws of the land authorized
■ 'r the recovery ol his property.
IW negro maintained most stoutly that he nev
** was the slave of any man, and that he never
^ re had seen or heard of Mr. W. The
"'ideuce satisfied Judge Davis that he was the
!>■ perty of Mr. Worthington and he gave a cer
ate to that effect. Mr. W. enquired of the
Ju.lge in what manner he should proceed to ae
the slave, in or«ler to convey him to Maty
aid; to which the Judge replied that he could
-w the same means that he would to protect
other portion of his estate. The arrest ere
1 ’> fit a little excitement among the colors*!
population, who flocked to the Court House in
great numbers, and stood around the door, wai
ting anxiously to kuow what the decision would
be. When Judge Davis had adjourned the
Court, and was passing into the street, they
crowded around him and asked if this were not
a land of liberty? The fudge answered that it
was a land of laws as well as of liberty, and cau
tioned them against interfering, with a view to
releases person from custody, who was by the
; laws of another State, the property of the gentle
man who claimed him. The admonition had a
very happy effect, and they departed readily.—
Toe slave was forthwith transported to Mary
