day, 10Th ut, to answer to the complaint against
him. He attended by S. E. Sewall, Richard
HiIdreth, X. H. Dana, Jr., and Charles List, as
counsel. The examination was held in the U. 5.
Court room, which was very much crowded.
Mr.. Lunt stated that the complaint was based
upon the closing portion of the 7th section OF the
act Of September 49, 1850, making it punishable
by a fine and imprisonment to aid, abet, or assist
in the escape OF fugitive slave, alleged fugitive.
He commenced the examination by calling upon
Col Seth J. Thomas, counsel for the agent, to read
the Norfolk documents tending to show that Shad-
rach was fugitive.
Mr. Sewall objected that such documents could |
not be used as evidence in the before the Com |
missioner They could only be used as evidence |
that the party was slave on complaint Tor his |
arrest and delivery to claimant, and could not
be further used as evidence against another party
charged for rescue etc.
The Commissioner replied, that the law applied |
to the of alleged fugitive, and if should
be proved that Shadrach was alleged fugitive
than attempt to rescue him would be an offence.
