ba, item on It is worthy of notice In psssing tnet,
in 10 place in this code, IS Slavery Expressly es-
tab-hed in the Territory. Instead OF leaving sue

consent, he can only go on by giving security for the

this same law, there is a singular provision:
the plaintiff Be anoror mu!afI be required prove
his right to Freedom"
There be only fair, legitimate inference from
this, and that Is that is considered quite possible that
persons no, negroes or mu.attOes-in other words,
uhne personS-nay happen 10 be held ia Slavery in
Kansas; but the requirement of the sent OF the
court and security for cost applies 70 them also; and,
of course, section II ADDS: In actions pr secasd IN.
