Jln Important Law The Legish

State, hereafter, to reside, under a penalty
of $50. The offender, in case he be una
ble to pay the fine is to be sold beyond the
limits of the State, for a sum sufficient to
pay the fine and all costs. The law is not
to affect sea faring men, or persons enter
ing the State temporarily for the purpose

a free negro into the State to attend a
camp or other meeting, is subject, under
this law, to a fine ot $200 Pal Star:
