ENTICING SLAVES. Three free colored persons were tried and convicted, last week, in the Circuit Court for Frederick County , MD., of the crime of enticing slaves to run away from their masters. The Citizen says
‘They were sentenced by the Court, in accordance with a law recently passed by the Legislature, to be sold out of the State as slaves for life. The proceeds of sale to be applied — first, to cost of prosecution; secondly, to indemnify the masters of the runaways for their loss; and the balance, if any, to be given to the families of the convicted parties.’
