Not Decided.

--Isaac, slave to W. D. Blair, and Virginia Rix, a free negress, were before the Recorder yesterday to answer the charge of harboring a slave named Maria, the property of Adia Taylor, and aiding her to escape from her owner. A negro girl testified to seeing Maria in Isaac's hack at a very early hour in the morning; but, on being cross-questioned, so contradicted herself that the Recorder continued the examination until Saturday, and admitted the accused parties to bail for their appearance.
