10 say, that these candies, made from the
fat of a Black Eat, IN which there WIS not
a white hair. were made for the use ofrob
brrs, Who were tn light them IN the houses,
or stores, into which they might find their
way al night. After hearing the evidence,
the Magistrate was So satisfied that the ne
gro bad killed and converted the eat 10 his
own use, that lie gave Judgment for the va
lIe and costs. This case happened within
ten days.
At1ut two years ago complaint similar
TO that I've have stated, was bro't before
another magistrate, against the same john
son. IN the course of that inquiry, ii was
Rsceriained that the cat Of the Black Cat
had been appropriated To somewhat diff
Gerent pnrpse. The Alderman found, that,
in one insiance--and he had the evidence
from the lips of the crednlous knave who
had beea gulcd into the purehasc---a small
phd, which the Magistrate has now IN his
possession, was bought by a c0lpured boy,
about L6 years of age, from Johnson, Who
assured him that whenever he chose to be
inriSible, be had nothing to do but carry
this phlal of Black Cats fat in particular
part of his dress and he would become in,i
sibe. The boy gave johnson half IA dollar
for the phial, placed it where he was bid
and sIyIy slipped into IA grocery store TO
labor IN his vocation, confident that altho'
he could SEE, he could not be seen.-
Scarcely, however had he made up a
small parcel and was carrying 1t off, when
To his great ama2emcnt, he was seized by
the arm aud taken 10 prison. In few
days he WAS tried and convicted Of larceny
and sentenced for two wears 10 the npni
Tertiary.
These events destroyed all his confidence
in the Black Cats fat, aud he detailed all
the circumstances to the Alderman, Such
are the vlllIinous practices, which pre-, all
