between Mr.. Wood and Judge Douglas,
told him. and, he is informed, several
others, that he (Clapp) heard Mr.. Wood
pledge his delegation unreservedly to

The Lennon Slave Cases

- ALBANY, TUESDAY, Malcu - LOW.
John jaw of New-York appeared before the Court
of Appeals to-day as onaicus curle in the Lennon
slave case to argue that bona de case was before
the Court and that no decision should be made. lie
nroduced documentary evidence to prove that the
slaves were in Canada beyond the jurisdiction OF the
Court and that the owners, having received payment
for the slaves, had acknowledged the compensation
and had no further claim; and that these being the
only parties interested, nothing was left but an imma
ture case between the States of Virginia and New
Some speculation prevails to the motives OF Mr..
Law in taking this position rs the Court stands five
Republicans to two Democrats and one Amerlc An.
Although the evidence was produced by Mr.. Jay to
ubstantiate bis position it is the opinion o. lawyers
that the Cont cannot consider the same since no op
portunty has been afforded the parties in interest to
controveIt the facts. ...-.. -.
