within a few weeks "at least five fugitive slaves have been
brought back to this city, from free States, with as little

vicinity, has been lodged in jail in Illinois or Indiana, for
his owner, who will please call, pay charges, and take him

found that the colored man was too strongly guarded and
protected.
