THE LENNON SLAVE CASE John Jaw. OF
New York, appeared before the Court OF Ap-
peals. on Monday, rs an,ieas curi1 in rhe
Lennon slave case, to argue that no bona fds
case was before the Court. and that no decision
shonld be made. He produced documen tary
evidence to prove that the slaves were in
Canada, beyond the jurisdiction of the Court.
aud that the owners, having received payment
for the slaves, had acknowledged the compen-
sation. and had no further claim; and that
these being the only parties interested, no.
thing was left but an;immature case between
the states OF Virginia and New York

OF MIR. Jay in taking this position, rs the Court
stands nve RepuDli 10 two Democrats and
one American. Although the evidence was
produced by Mr. Jay to ubsiantiate his posi-
ton, it is the opinion OF lawyers that the
Court cannot consider the same since no op-
portunity has been afforded the parties in in.
