IT is a curious fact. not generally
known, that New Jersey has o fugitive
slave law of her own, enacted in 1893,
and re-enacted with notifications In
1888 and l846. The STAKEHOLDER or
his agent can apply to Common Pleas
Judge, ard the arrest will be made by
the Sheriff, and the question of proper
ty decided by three Judges. This law
is in accordance with that interpreta-
ton of the federal constitution which
makes the restoration of fugitive slaves
the duty Of the States. New Jersey
hes also . law authorizing q slavshold.
or to take bis slaves through the State.
and to make temporary residence
with them.
