GrGnOille Superior Court. We learn that
case some interest was tried at the late Term OF
this Court-Judge Dick presiding. free man
of color by the name of Smith, was tried on the
charge of taking and concealing the female slave
of Mrs Cannon, of Oxford, with the intent and


for the purpose of carrying her out of the limits OF
the State, or for the purpose of enabling her to
escape out of the State The testimony was cir
cumstantial, and though of such strong charac-
ter as to satisfy the community of the guilt of the
accused, yet the Jury rendered verdict of not
guilty, on the grounds of doubt as to the taking
and concealment in the County of Granville
the parties having been first seen together near
the Depot in franklin. This result should at
least satisfy Northern fanatics that people are
very tenacious Of the rights of persons of color,
where life is involved The result of the trial, it
is feared may operate inurously in the protection
of our slave property against the seductions OF
those who are tempting them to desert the service
of their masters, under the delusve idea of better
ing their condition. lt
