LAW CASE S.

CASE OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVE ANDERSON.

A CASE has occurred under "the Ashburton Treaty," between this country and the United States, which raises many questions of the greatest interest, and which, but for the internal troubles which arose within the States, might have caused a war, in which the Monarchy would have appeared as the assertor of human freedom and the Republic the champion of slavery. The questions of international law, of law as between a colony and a foreign country, and as between the parent State and the colony, were singular and complicated.

It will be remembered (and it is one of the many noteworthy circumstances of the case), that the States which compose the American Republic are divisible into two classes-those in which slavery is recognised as an essential part of their polity, and those in which slavery is not permitted, although recognised as a legal status in the other portions of the Union. The State of Missouri is 8 Slave State." In Howard county, Missouri, a negro, born in the States, named John Anderson, or "Jack," was the slave of one Moses Burton. Anderson had a wife, a negress, who lived not with her husband or his owner, but with one Samuel Brown, whose estate was about two miles distant from that of Burton, and whose

66

slave she was. The case presents incidentally a remarkable instance of the evils that attend and spring from the institution of slavery. In 1853 Burton sold Anderson to one M'Donald, whose estate was 32 miles distant from Burton's, and consequently the husband and wife were now severed by a space of from 30 to 34 miles, instead of two. In September, 1853, Anderson had been seen by several persons in the neighbourhood of Brown's (where it will be remembered his wife lived), and therefore, and because it was on a different side of the river, it was suspected and rumoured that Anderson had run away from his owner. The fact was, that M Donald was about to sell his black chattel; and the poor fellow, perhaps fearing that he might be sent to some distant place, desired to effect a change of owners which would keep him in his old neighbourhood: possibly he had an idea in his mind that he would rather run away than be sold away. At any rate he did not return to M'Donald. He had been lurking about for three weeks, and had been several times pursued, when one day he accosted a planter named Seneca T. P. Diggs, and asked him to tell him where one Charles Givens lived; and on being asked why, he answered that he wished to get Givens to

buy him. He belonged, he said, to a man named M'Donald, and that he did not want to live on the other side of the river, because his wife was living at Brown's, about six miles from Givens'.

This tale, which to an Englishman appears the true working of human nature, and would excuse many faults, bore an entirely different aspect to the American slaveowner. Diggs charged Anderson with being a runaway, and refused to let him go. The law of Missouri declares that any slave found morə than 20 miles from his home shall be deemed a runaway; that any person may apprehend any negro being or suspected of being a runaway, and provides a reward for so doing. Diggs does not seem to have acted with peculiar harshness, for he told Anderson to come with him and get his dinner, and then he would go with him to Givens, and see about the matter. Anderson at first walked quietly with him; but whether he thought that this treatment was deceptive, and that he was to be secured and delivered up to his owner, or whether he feared his owner's cruelty, or had from the beginning resolved to make his escape; whatever the cause, he suddenly took to his heels. Diggs called to four negroes who were with him to give chase, telling them that if they caught him they should have the reward. It is, therefore, probable that Anderson had more faith in Diggs' cupidity than his good nature. Diggs himself, having a child with him, did not long keep up the pursuit; but the negroes chased their fellow-man and slave. Anderson drew out a knife and declared that if they came near him he would kill them. The negroes, therefore, kept off, but hunted the poor fellow within a

circle, which, gradually narrowing, at length brought Anderson near Diggs. On seeing this Diggs crossed a hedge, and approached the fugitive. As he got nigh, Anderson threatened him with the knife; Diggs struck at him with a stick, which caught in a bush and broke; aud then Anderson stabbed him in the breast. Diggs turned to run from him, his foot caught in a bine, and he fell. Anderson went up to him, stabbed him in the back, and then fled. The negroes made a short chase after Anderson, who, however, escaped. There exists in the Northern States of the Union a party vehemently zealous for the abolition of slavery. They have a secret organization for promoting their views, and in especial for aiding the escape of fugitive slaves. This organization is so complete that the runaway is passed from hand to hand through many hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of territory, and only reappears in Canada, where he is popularly said to have arrived "by the under-ground railway." Perhaps by the aid of this Society, Anderson succeeded in reaching Canada. Diggs lingered for some time, but finally died of his wounds.

Merely as a fugitive slave Anderson would have been safe under the protection of Great Britain. But in 1842 a treaty, known as "the Ashburton Treaty," was concluded between this country and the United States, which contained, among others, provisions for the mutual extradition of persons charged with certain classes of offences amongst them that of "murder: and the colonial statute which gave effect to this treaty as between the States and the Province, provided that, on a specified application, the justice of the peace should issue his warrant
