Mr. Dean then asked for military protection.
which was handed to aim: when ne began to
ask the hoy questions, as: how long he had
worked TOR the Governments: what nav he had
received; and where he was arrested; and also
what he wanted to do now: when the bow said
he wanred TO he free. While Mr.. Dean was
thus addressing Hall, Marshal Lamon came in
and took = seat, when Dean inquired il he had
= process. The Marshal replied that he had a
paper IN his hand relative TO the case, but he
did not COME to serve it himself. He merely
came there as an officer of the court to inform,
the military authorities that Mr.. Waiter $.
Coke had been appointed by Judges Cartier,
Fisher, and Wylie, commissioner under the
for service to Mr.. Joseph S. Worthington, who
was here introduced.
Mr.. Dean said he was surprised that any
appointment had been made under the Fugitive
Slave act. This matter must be brought again
to the attention of the Court.
Marshal Lamon suggested that obedience to
the warrant would bring the matter up on
habeas corpus.
Mr.. Dean did not see how a commissioner
could be appointed, when the slave law did
not apply to the District and he hoped Judge
He Mr.. Dean. had right to deny entirely the
right of the coMmiss Toner to Issue the warrant
after the fugitive had been once released.
Mr.. LaInon said he had done what he came
there for, viz: to inform the military authori-
ties OF the appointment of the commissioner,
and that was all he had to do with the mater.
Mr.. Dean then addressing Major Sherbnrne
as Judge" and syour honor" &c, demanded
that the negro be remanded to the custody OF
the military guard. and there retained until
Monday at 10 O'Clock, when he would have The
case brought up again: and in the mean time
would find out when Mr.. Coke had been APP
pointed commissioner. But he did not want
the boy to lay in Jail any longer.
Mr. Dean then lectured the boy how to act
n mt m Srnrr
the soldier, and turning to Mr.. Warrington,
he said the boy was under military protection
and he would allow no process. He did not
want to see again such a row as was attempted
at the City Hall yesterday.
After short interview with Marshal Lamon,
Major S. returned and handing the warrant
was IN military custody and therefore the war
rant could not be recognized. He would send
the boy to the Conrraband Camp.
MI Dean said that he proposed on Monday
morning 10 present this matter again, and if the
Court decided that the law of 1856 apple TO
this District, he, law abiding citizen, would
surrender. He proposed to make this a test
case.
Mr.. Dean was very much concerned lest Mr.
Worthington should attempt to arress the boy
after he had been Sent to the camp and was
not under Immediate military control Mr..
WOrthington said he would do nothing to bring
on clash between the military and civil ari-
ihoritiss.
