world. He has beea sentenced to pay fne
Of $1,000 and costs, amounting 10 $3.50. for
the alleged crime Of aiding fugitive slzres to

Mr. Sloane. IN letter to Willian Go05ell,
gives the facts in this case. In the autumn
Of 1852, he says. several eolored persons were
about leaving saadusky. on board steam
boat, when they were driven back by some
Kentuckians. A crowd gathered, and there
were appearances Of not, but these were

prove their ownership. Some Of the friends
Of the negroes went 70 Mr. S!oancs Office.
and solicited his professional services in their
defence. This vas his first knowledge Of the
affair, and his only participation ii it vas a a
lawyer. Ar. Sloane continues his narrative
thus

room tire blacks and their claimants wait

Here are the entire facts Of the case, as
proved BY thirteen good witnesses. The ju-
rors were required to say that they had no
conscientious scruples against the Fugitive
Slave act, and no objections to giving YER
dict Of guilty under that act; and the case
being tried, resulted as we have stated, in
heavy Judgment against the defendant In
additoH to the fine, Mr. Sloane has to 20 70
jail for six months. Mr.. Sloane says, in con.
clusion-
"And what is my offence: Only acting in
the ordinary duties Of my profession. A Grim.
