A petition for the repeal of the slave law

gers continue to pour into the city by most
every train Ellis, in his defence to day re-
marked upon the inconsistency of the warrant,
saying that it was not sufficient to alledge the
naked fact that the prisoner owes his services,
but it must also state how he is held, whether
as slave he has a special interest in him or as
lessee. The prisoner is entitled to have the
allegations properly set forth-also time for his
defence. Another objection was to the record
. of the Virginia Court. That Court cannot
know the seal of the Virginia Court. The
: Court is by means to know the seal OF every
other Court, it is impracticable. He cited au.
thorites to sustain his position. Another OBJ
jeciion was the nsufficency of proof. lie also
contended that as much as the evidence went
to show that the prisoner went to sleep on board
the vessel, and was brought away, it did not
!, amount to an escape according TO the strict
! sense of the statute.
