BosToS, Thursday, Feb. I'll PM
Yesterday GEO. LUNT, u. ;. District At
,ornev. was arrested by Deputy Sheriff CO.
hmm upon a writ brought by Alex. P. Bur-
ION. of Salem, the man arrested in that city
few DAYS since and brought to Boston
rpon the charge of being an alder and abet-
,dr in the rescue of Shadrach, charging that
I.unt maliciously and without any just and
probable cause under oath made acomplaint
Il writing before Benz. f. Hallet, Esq. one
ofthe Commissioners of the Circuit Court
ofthe United States for the District of Mas
sschusetts, against the said plaintiff Dam
spes are set at $4,000, and Mr.. Lunt was
required to give bail in that sum- which ne
did.
Second Dispatch.
The case will come before the Court of
Common Pleas in Salem on the third Mon
day of March next.
4 writ of attachment has Just been
served by Deputy Sheriff Coburn upon the
goods and the Estate of Geo. F. Curtiss,
q. S. Commissioner, and Patrick Riley,
Deputy U. S. Marshal, for $4,000 dam
age. This suit was brought on behalf of
Sbsdrach the alleged fugitive, alias Frede-
rick Minkins, laborer. The writ charges
that defendants did arrest and cause TO be
arrested, and did then beat and i'll treat the
said plaintiff.
The defendants are held for trial in $lO,-
900 each, to appear at the April term of
The Court of Common Pleas. Several
other Government and State officers VIII be
arrested shortly. The grounds upon which
these suits are brought are, that the Fugi
i've Slave Law is unconstitutional, and that
The officer prosecuted acted without au-
ihority.
A writ was issued about week since for
the arrest Of Capehort, Attorney Of De-
bree, the alleged owner of Shadrach, but
be has thus far escaped the officers. Men
are employed to find him, and are to be re-
warded if they succeed.
