THE PHILADELPHIA SLAVE CAsE-The applica-
ton of Lewis Pierce. heretofore a slave in New
Orleans, TO be discharged from the custody Of his
master, Robt. filghman, Esq, was dedided on
Saturday week, in his favor.
The facts in the case are very simple. Mr. Thigh
man, being an invalid came TO Philadelphia to OBJ
tain medical advice, and brought Lewis with him
as his body servant, relying upon a law passed in
Pennsylvania in l7SO, by which owners of slaves,
coming "with their property" into the State, were
protected in their night of possession for six months
But in lS47 another law was passed, repeating the
law OF 1850; and Lewis, relying upon this law,
withdrew from the service of Mr.. Tilghman,
claiming that, having been voluntarily brought into
a free State, he had become a free man. The
ground taken BY the counsel OF Mr. Tghman
vas that the law of 1877 is unconstitutional and
therefore void
Judge King had no difficulty in deciding that the
law of ls47is perfectly constitutional Il Goes not
conflict with the constitution, for that instrument
provides only that slaves escaping into free States
shall be given up. There is nothing in the CON
stitution prohibiting free States from declaring
that slaves voluntarily brought within their juris
diction shall be free. Lewis was ordered TO be
Get al liberty.
