Yet the law of 1793, wicked as it was, was justice and mercy compared with yours. The trials under that were almost invariably before judges of the State courts, not appointed like your commissioners for the vile and only purpose of reducing their fellow-men to bondage. There judges were not confined to ex parte evidence, were not compelled to receive "as full and conclusive" affidavits made in distant States, and by unknown persons. For the most part, they honestly endeavoured, by a patient in...vestigation according to the ordinary rules of evidence, and by holding the plain- tiff to strict legal proof, to supply the want of a jury.
David Paul Brown, Esq. , of Philadelphia, in a letter of last November, affirms that for the last thirty years he has been engaged as counsel in almost every important fugitive case brought before the judges and courts of Philadelphia, and he tells us, " thanks to those upright and impartial and independent judges by whom the rights of the parties were finally determined, " he knows of no instance in which a colored person was, in his opinion, wrongfully surrendered.
