We understand that short time since the Cover
nor OF Maryland sent on agent TO demand of our
Governor the surrender of A. Goudkop, of this
city, who charged with having swindled some
citizens of Baltimore out Of large amount of goods,
There was informally in the warrant because there
was no certificate that the person before whom the
affidavit was made was justice of the peace. The
agent returned to Maryland, had the paper prepared
in form, and on his return TO Richmond found that
Goudkop was confinement at the civil suit of citizeIs
of this place. On Saturday last Governor Gregory
gave to the agent order for the delivery Of Goud
