On application Of Mr. JolilTe that the de-
fendant be remanded to the charge Of some
proper officer, TO be held in custody until an
application should be made for writ Of GER
tiorari and determined, it was ruled out o
order by the Court, as it had been decided by
the Supreme Court Of the United States al
its recent session, that their body had no
appellate jurisdiction from The decision Of one
Of their own Judges in Chambers. Judge
Mclean, however, suggested that perhaps the
claimant would be willing, voluntarily, to
enter into bonds TO return the party claimed
nt some suitable time before the first Of
February next, to await decision as to the
granting Of writ by Judge Mclean on his
consultation with colleagues. The claimant
arose and freely offered to give bondsi $780,
900, and it was then agreed that bond Of
$4,000 should be given by Mr. Miller, the
sum suggested by the Judge, and James Park
er was agreed upon as Trustee. This ar
rangcment being one merely Of comfy among
the party.
The bond was signed by the following par
ties: Henry Miller, II. 7. Buckner, r. II.
Pace, s. c. Sayer, |. II. Riddle, r. u. Calv-
ert and VI. II. Brand.
The following is the certificate authorizing
Henry Milerto take George W. McQuery as
fugitive from service of Henry Miller, to
the State Of Kentucky, where he was held as
slave.
The United States. District Of Ohio. Henry
Miller vs. George W. McQuery. The de-
fcndant, George w. McQuery, being cliamed
as fugitive from labor by the plaintiff, Henry
Miller, who objected 10 his discharge, and
proceeded TO introduce evidence to show that
he was the owner Of him, as slave, under
the law Of Kentucky, in Washington county
from which he absconded four years ago.
Several witnesses were examined, four of
whom testified that they knew the said
George for twelve years and more as the
slave OF Henry Miller: one Of them being
the son OF the complainant, twenty-one years
of age, who stated that so long as he observed
anything, he had known Wash, the above de-
fendant, as the servant of the claimant; and
the other witnesses corroborated in every
particular the facts so stated. Two or three
| of the witnesses stated that in conversation
| with Wash, since his arrest. he admitted that

can entertain therefore, no doubt as to
the right of the claimant under the laws OF
Kentucky to the service of the sdid George
w. McQuery, and therefore remand him to
the said Henry Miller, and he is hereby au-
thorized, under the act oe Congress, to take
the said George w, McQuery to Kentucky
as fugitive from labor according to law.
In witness thereof, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this 18th day of August, 1853.
