Symmes now stood as regarded his master in
the situation of a ward. Mr.. Sewall replied
that might be law in slave States, but not in
Massachusetts. Judge Woodbury. asked Sewall
if Massachusetts was not State of the Union
which recognised the institution of slavery
For his part, he thanked God that Massachu-
sets was still State of the Union Great APP
plause in court-room-marshal called loudly to
order.) Sumner then argued the case ut length
and Mr.. Curtis rejoined. Judge Woodbury. then
decided that the warrant was legal, and that
the marshal acted properly.
The usual affidavit that he fears rescue has
been made by the agent of the claimant and
probably such force will be detailed of police,
military, &C., to carry Symmes out of the State
as will render an attempt at rescue impossible.

ceptible. In the crowd about the courthouse
