4 AN INTERESTING SLAVE CASE IN LowELL.-We
: learn by an advance copy Of the Lowell Vor
0 Popuh, that a Slave case of much interest has
: been pending in that city for several days, the
particulars, of which are thus given
" Jesse C)rnwell, IL rich planter in Missis-
sippi, had smart favoritc slave named Bctsey,
who was cmplyed IN the confidential relation
, OF housekeeper. and with whom he cohabited.
i The result OF this cohabitation was daughter,
II who is now twenty-tour years old, smart, cApa

i, Caroline. Cornwell, on his death-bcd, six
years since, requested his friend, DR.. Lewis
II Reyes. to take charge of his effects. including
s a considerable sum Of money and especially
V charged him us soon as he could arrange 50
to do, to take the woman Betsey and his and
, her child Caroline to free State and there see
them comfortably located. For this special
j, service Reyes was directed to take $4,000 cash.
d s 1000 of which was to be equally divided be-
tween mother and daughter and $1,000 to be re-
tanned for his own services.
G Instead of performing faithfully this last
= dying request, it is alledged, Cornwell immedi-
i ately on the death of Reyes took the mother
e and daughter, and hired them out at 500 a
re year each for period of six years, when he
n finally brought them with him North. arriving
, in Lowell in the latter part of May last. They
have been here with Reyes family, under strict
surveillance, since that time.
On Saturday last the mother and daughter
appeared before Isaac S. Morse, ESQ.,, to whom
u they made a complaint and told their story.
= Mr.. Morse in their behalf instituted a suit
: against Reyes for the recovery of the money
" given by Cornwell, and also for their six years
= labor.
+ Reyes was arrested by Deputy Sheriff L. L..

well, but this is hard to believe 1t is unnat-
