Negro Slavery.
Two defendants in the trials at Montgomery pleaded guilty and were sentenced to one year’s imprisonment. The judge declared that defenceless people, guilty of no crime were brought before the Court and by collusion with a Magistrate they were deprived of liberties, forced to work, and cruelly beaten. (A cablegram', states that ninetynine indictments of negro slavery were found against planters, Negroes were fined for fictitious offences, the planters paying the fines and taking the negroes into slavery.)
