he had ouch utter detestaticn that he would not
even mention them in his bill, though he meant
Shem, and nothing else, all the time.
Every Southern jail, said MIR. Downs, hsbitualy
receives the slaves Of any master without warrant
or any ether authority than the mere expression OF
the wish the master and detains them In custody
