lists held at the Assembly Buildings city of Pha-
delpha, the 18th December 1885, whereat he stated
that by his books of entry and record he had stolen and
conveyed North by the underground railroad the further
number of 3s6 slaves-snce the report in May 1857
making total of AS slaves stolen by said Garrett
and whereas the said of bestowed upon said
Garrett in May 1857. and his large annual receipts per
capita for slave he steal, have made him
rich in wealth and marked him a wicked and base
traitor to and God and whereas most of the slaves
stolen by said Garrett belong citizens of this State
whose rights of property the State is acredy pledged to
secure inviolate;
Therefore, be 1t resolved by the General Assembly of
Maryland that the Treasurer pay the order of the

who may secure said Thomas Garrett in of the
public ails in this States and that the Governor of this
State on information of such fact is hereby requested to
employ the best legal ability Of the State to prosecute
said Garrett to conviction and punishment
Mr.. JACOBS then entered into detailed explana-
tion of the resolution; of the manner in which
slaves are stolen from Worcester and other coun-
ties in that vicinity. He dwelt at some length up
on pedlars, their tricks of trade and the nsinua-
ting way they have of ingratiating themselves into
the goodwill of negroes. He was particularly
hard on Garrett; said that he was a traitor and
should be hung.
About having slaves run off, MIR. Jacobs had ex-
perienced loss from that cause. He now had man
in Canada who often wrote home begging for money
and to be brought back. The poor devil was nearly
starved, but could n OF back, although he
wanted to do so. Mr.JacObs verify believed he was
run off BY "Old Brown" Garrett, who sent his
minions-the pedlars-throughout the country
III.
Jacobs denounced Garrett as an arbitrator, vii
lain, and guilty of every horrid crime. There
were men that he knew who could convict the
scoundrel, and he wanted him caught.
As matter of course, under the rules of the
House, the resolutions of Mr.. Jacobs lie over for
another reading.
