Louis. After being lodged in jail in St. Louis he
made his escape, and again went into Illinois. He was
pursued, found, and taken back to St. Louis.--_St. Louis
Republican_, March, 1853.
AMANDA, a slave girl, was brought to St. Louis, from near
Memphis, Tennessee, a year before, by a son of her master,
and by him set free, without his father's consent. After the
father's death, an attempt was made to seize Amanda, and take
her back to Tennessee without trial. This was prevented by
officers, the girl taken from the steamboat Cornelia, and
brought before Levi Davis, United States Commissioner. He
decided in favor of the claimants, (the heirs of the estate,
of course.)--_St. Louis Republican_, March 17, 1853.
JANE TRAINER, a colored child, about ten years old, in the
possession of Mrs. Rose Cooper, _alias_ Porter, (a woman
admitted by her counsel to be a common prostitute,) was
brought before Judge Duer, of New York City, by a writ of
_habeas corpus_, which had been applied for by Charles
Trainer, the father of the child, (a free colored man, who
had followed the parties from Mobile to New York,) and who
desired that the custody of his daughter's person should be
granted to him.
