_Eagle_, "escaped
from Mason and Bracken Counties, a short time ago. Some of
them were captured in Ohio, by their owners, at a distance of
about forty miles from the river." "They brought the captured
slaves home without encountering the least obstacle, or even
an unkind word."--_Standard_, November 4, 1852.

THE LEMMON SLAVES. At New York, eight persons, claimed by
Jonathan Lemmon, of Norfolk, Virginia, as his slaves, were
brought before Judge Paine, November, 1852. It appeared that
they had been brought to New York by their owner, with a view
of taking them to Texas, as his slaves. Mr. Louis Napoleon, a
respectable colored man, of New York, procured a writ of
habeas corpus, under which they were brought before the
court. Their liberation was called for, under the State Law,
not being fugitives, but brought into a free State by their
owner. Said owner appeared, with Henry D. Lapaugh as his
counsel, aided by Mr. Clinton. At their urgent request, the
case was postponed from time to time, when Judge Paine, with
evident reluctance, decreed the freedom of the slaves. E.D.
Culver and John Jay, Esqs., were counsel for the slaves. The
merchants and others of New York subscribed and paid Mr.
Lemmon the sum of $5,280, for loss of his slaves. The New
York _Journal of Commerce_ was very active in raising this
money. The same men were invited to contribute something for
the destitute men, women, and children claimed by Lemmon. The
whole amount given by them all, was two dollars. About one
thousand dollars were raised for them among the better
disposed but less wealthy class.

THOMAS BROWN alias GEORGE BORDLEY, _Philadelphia, November,
1852_, was claimed by one Andrew Pearce, Cecil County,
Maryland. Given up to claimant by Commissioner Ingraham. The
arrest of the man was made by the notorious kidnapper, George
F. Alberti. Mr. Pettit, counsel for the claimant.
