a number Of pieces Of joist from an cid
building partly pulled down. The man
confessed the fact, but stated in extcn-
uatIon, that the boys were taking a.
way some OF the old materials to burn,
and that he tLought it no harm to take
a few pieces himself--It was in epi.
dence that the materials had been sold
to the complainant by the owner Of the
land previous to taking down the build.

the materials continued part of the

then the larceny would depend on the
fact whether~thc joist hnd been severed
from the building previous to the carry

that the ioist at the time of taking was
part Of the freehold, and therefore not
subject to larceny, and the prisones

Rlor MD OUTRAGE.-Some days since, seve
raj gentlemen from Kentucky arrived in our city
IN pursuit. Of runaway slaves They found aud
seized man and his wife. The man had resid.
ed here some time, and was mason by trade
Ills conduct had been SO much in bis favor as to
have enlisted a considerable interest in his be-
halt. Amongst those of his own color great
degree Of sympathy had been manifested; and
on SUNDAY night woman prevailed on the jailor
TO let her H. The consequence was that the fe.
male slave passed out in the dress OF her visiter
without detection Yesterday, the man, whose
name Is Blackburn, was about being removed
ir'n the Jail. when large assembase Of blacks
collected and rescued him from the Sheriff.
Painful and humiliatng as is the idea that this
relic OF barbarism, involuntary servitude, should
SUI exist and cross our path and shock our sight,
still the rights Of property must be held sacred,
and The majesty Of the laws sustained.
Weregret to learn that in this outrage upon
me peace Of our city and the laws Of the land,
The Sheriff has received severe personal injury.
Wet fear that the ignorant zeal Of the blacks
las received too much encouragement from the
'nIudiclOus excitement felt BY some of our cti.
zens' who would have been sorry to have coun.e.
nlneed an open breach Of the laws. The attempt
