--> McCreary was demanded by Gov. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, to be
delivered up for trial on a charge of kidnapping; but Gov. Lowe, of
Maryland, refused to surrender him. See _Standard_, July 2, 1853.
JAMES TASKER, _New York City_, (Feb. 1852,) arrested through
the treachery of Police Officer Martin, and brought before
United States Commissioner George W. Morton, as the slave of
Jonathan Pinckney, of Maryland. He was given up, and taken
back to slavery.
HORACE PRESTON, arrested in _Williamsburg, New York_, as the
slave of William Reese, of Baltimore, Maryland;--Richard
Busteed, of New York, being Attorney for the slaveholder. He
was brought before United States Commissioner Morton, 1st
April, 1852; for several days previous he had been kept a
prisoner, and his wife knew not what had become of him. He
was given up by the Commissioner, and was carried into
slavery. The same policeman, Martin, (who acted in the case
of James Tasker,) was active in this case; being, doubtless,
the original informant.
