A Slare Case.-A gentleman and his
wife came from the South recently 10 Wis
il their friends in this town, and brought
with them colored nurse. II was sup
posed by some that she was kept under
unusual restraint, in the apprehension that
she might become acquainted with her
rights in free State, and claim her liber-
ty. A writ Of habeas corpus was issued
by Judge Dewey, and she was brought
before his honor, III this lown, on Wed
nesday last from Greenfield, whittier the
gensleamn and lady had gone to visit their
friends. On an examination before the
judge, she denied any improper restraint
aud expressed no derire to change her
condition. She said she was free, of course
here was the end of The case. But i, still
being persisted that she was not free. that
she was through fear of her master, who
was present,-her free papers were pro.
euced showing that she was not slaue in
her own Stale. His honor admonished
the gentleman concerned, to be more
carefnkin future to learn facts in the case
before he commenced legal proceedings.
