The FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE IN WAsHINGToN-A
hearing was had yesterday afternoon before Justice
Donn, of a charge against Mrs. Beveridge, land
lady of the Washington House, on Third street and
Pennsylvania avenue, for having obstructed two
officers of the law in their efforts to secure about
the middle of August last, the person of negro
man, (Statford Payne,) alleged to have been fu-
gtive from labor from his mistress, Miss Thomp-
son, living in Alexandria, Va. Several witnesses
were examined from whom it appeared that al
the time of the arrest, Payne was living in the ca
pacity of servant, hired by Miss Thompson to
Mrs. Beveridge, and for whom wages had been
paid and were then owing. He had, however, en-
tered suit in Circuit Court for his freedom and
claimed to be free. The case was taken on habea,
corpus before Judge Merrick, of this District, who
remanded Payne to the possession of his mistress in
Virginia. The case against Mrs. Beveridge is
postponed to some early day in October. r.-Nationa
