JOHN BOLDING, _arrested in Poughkeepsie, New York_, claimed
as the property of Barret Anderson, of Columbia, S.C. Bolding
was a young man, of good character, recently married, and had
a small tailor's shop in P. He said he was told, when a boy,
that he was the son of a white man. He was tried before
United States Commissioner Nelson, who ordered him to be
delivered up to his claimants, and he was taken quietly from
the city to Columbia, S.C. The sum of $2,000 was raised in
New York, and paid to Bolding's owner, who had consented to
take that sum for him, and Bolding returned to his family in
Poughkeepsie.

_Christiana, Lancaster County, Penn., Sept. 1851._ Edward
Gorsuch, (represented as a very pious member of a Methodist
Church in Baltimore,) with his son Dickinson, accompanied by
the Sheriff of Lancaster County, Pa., and by a Philadelphia
officer named _Henry Kline_, went to Christiana to arrest
certain slaves of his, who, (as he had been privately
informed by a wretch, named Wm. M. Padgett,) were living
there. An attack was made upon the house, the slave-holder
declaring (as was said) that he "would not leave the place
alive without his slaves." "Then," replied one of them, "you
will not leave here alive." Many shots were fired on both
sides, and the slave-hunter, Edward Gorsuch, was killed.

At a subsequent trial, a number of persons (nearly forty)
were committed to take their trial for "treason against
the United States, by levying war against the same, in
resisting by force of arms the execution of the Fugitive
Slave Law." CASTNER HANWAY was of the number. After
suffering imprisonment and being subjected to great loss
of time and heavy expenses, they were all discharged.

_Syracuse, October 1, 1851._ JERRY, claimed as the slave of
John McReynolds, of Marion County, Missouri, was brought to
trial before Commissioner J.F. Sabine. He was rescued by a
large body of men from the officers who had him in custody,
and was next heard of in Canada.

_James R. Lawrence_, a lawyer of Syracuse, acted as counsel
for _James Lear_, attorney of McReynolds.
