THE FUGITvK SLAVE CASE IN PHILADELPHIA.-
In the case of Daniel Hawkins, claimed as
| fugitive slave by William M Rsteau, of Bllt
more county, Maryland, a hearing was had be
fore United States Commissioner Ingraham, al
Philadelphia, on Tuesday morning, who ordered
that he be sent back 10 his master He left at
O'Clock that afternoon, for Baltimore, In custody
Of the United States Marshal There was no
excitement and David Paul Brown, the counsel
for the slave having no testimony to offer incon-
sistent with that adduoed by the claimant re-
marked that If owners would thus appear in
court and make out their case in a regular man
ner, and by due proof, persons would find that
there was no disposition the part Of the courts
such as has been attributed to them to resist the
due execution Of the law. He said
"We are therefore satisfied though BV no means
content, TO let the law take its course, though it
was not to be wondered at that they were not 60
ing TO allow human rights TO be sacrificed to magi-
nary constructions OF the law
The Bulletin says:
"Some half dozen colored members Of Adolf
ton societies, and the regular committee of the
Pennsylvania State Abolition Society, were In
attendance at the hearing, apparently more with
a view to see that the proofs were ample aud the
proceedings regular, than with desire to embar-
rass the case by throwing unnecessary difficulty
