Galloway found him in March and lockedhim up in Whitehall Building on Long Wharf. A writ of habeas corpus wasissued in Franks behalf by Judge Morris. The Negro stated that he believed Gal-loway meant to take him on board a vessel to convey him to the States. Bryne andMcAlgay, Halliday and Saunders were employed in the interest of the slave, andFrank Pixley for the master, who alleged that he was simply traveling with hisattendant and meant to leave the States soon. But the judge held that Gallowaycould not restrain Frank from his liberty as he was not a fugitive slave, but if broughtat all to the State by Galloway, was so brought without his consent. He was allowedto go free.—Alta, California, April 12, 1851. San Francisco Courier, March 31, 1851(Borthwick, 164-5), Hayes Scrap Book (Hughes Ms. 1-28). OF CALIFORNIA 95. ATTORNEY B.
