A Native african Kidnnppc,l.

pulLADELrnlA, January Christian
Oliver, young colored man, yesterday
applied to Mayistrate South to be sent to
the House Of Correction for three months,
which request was granted. Oliver stated
that he was native of the West Coast Of
Africa. Three years ago be and several
companions were attracted to seaport
named Kingston by the arrival OF several
veesels. One evening, while loiterit &
around the wharf where the whaling
schooner Riley was moored, they were
seized by several sailors and carried on
board the vessel. Here they were placed
in chains and thrown into the hold Of the
schooner, where they were kept confined
for two or three days.
When they were released and brought on
deck the vessel was at sea aud they were
ordered to work. The Riley reached
several ports, but the slaves were not given
an opportunity to communicate with any
person on shore, and on one occasion
when one OF the men attempted 10 leave
the veesel he was seized, beaten and placed
in chains. About two months ago the
schooner reached New Bedford, Conuec.i.
cut, and Oliver managed 10 escape. He
then worked his way to this city, and, fail
ing to find employment, was advised to go
to the House Of Correction.
