18561254671856. First Edition. SLAVERY WILLIAMSON Passmore. Case of Passmore Williamson. Report of the Proceedings on the Writ of Habeas Corpus Issued by the Hon. John K. Kane Judge of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania In the Case of the United States of America Ex. Rel. John H. Wheeler vs. Passmore Williamson Including the Several Opinions Delivered; And The Arguments of Counsel Reported by Arthur Cannon Esq. Phonographer. Philadelphia: Uriah Hunt & Son 1856. Octavo modern half calf-gilt marbled boards; pp. 191. $2200.First edition of ""the most complete record available"" of the controversial Pennsylvania case on fugitive slaves a core work establishing a precedent ""in federal and state courts and important cause célèbre for the antislavery movement"" crucial in asserting a clear path for the following year's Dred Scott decision and provoking a ""legal crisis that led to the Civil War.""""During the fugitive slave controversy the abolitionist underground kicked into high gear."" This momentous shift was propelled by Federal District Judge John K. Kane in the Passmore Williamson case involving the rights of fugitive slave Jane Johnson. ""In July 1855 Col. John H. Wheeler the U.S. minister plenipotentiary designate to Nicaragua traveled to Philadelphia with his slave Jane and her two sons."" When she ""managed to get word out of her desire for freedom"" Black abolitionist William Still famed for his 1872 work Underground Railroad heard of her plight and alerted white abolitionist Passmore Williamson. They arranged to meet at the Philadelphia wharf and Williamson who arrived first immediately told Jane ""she was entitled to her freedom and released her from Wheeler's grasp."" As she fled with her two sons ""a heated exchange and scuffle occurred between Still Williamson and Wheeler who was held down by two of the five Black dockworkers present"" Sinha Slave's Cause 527-28.This triggered a series of major court cases when Williamson was presented with a writ of habeas corpus by Judge Kane and indictments were issued charging Williamson and the Black dockworkers for riot assault and robbery for the theft of slave property in transit. Although Williamson stated Jane and her sons were never in his custody Kane charged him with contempt and sentenced him to jail. As Frederick Douglass joined with others in attacking Kane's ""tyrannical position"" and Williamson petitioned for the contempt charge to be dropped Jane who adopted the surname of Johnson played yet another key role. In an affidavit sworn in Massachusetts she affirmed that she had never been in Williamson's custody stating: ""Nobody forced me away I always wished to be free and meant to be free when I came North"" Sinha 529. Although Jane was likely considered free under Pennsylvania law the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ""refused to interfere with Williamson's incarceration"" after Judge Kane rejected Jane's affidavit Finkelman Slavery in the Courtroom 40-41. In effect Kane's defense of slave-owner rights ""created a new constitutional right'transit for property and person'based on a Constitution written to 'establish a more perfect union.'"" Williamson was imprisoned for nearly six months and became a martyr for the abolitionist cause but ""more important was the precedent set in the federal and state courts by this case."" Judge Kane's insistence ""that Wheeler had a right to bring his slaves into Pennsylvania and capture them there if they escaped despite state law explicitly prohibiting it"" opened the way for the ""high-water mark of this position in the Dred Scott case 1857 a year after Kane's opinion"" Finkelman Imperfect Union 260-64; emphasis added. The case of Passmore Williamson and Jane Johnson was ""an important cause célèbre for the antislavery movement an example ofand contributor tothe legal crisis and the crisis in federalism that led to the Civil War"" Finkelman Slavery 41. First edition: recorded by court reporter Arthur Cannon: ""contains the most complete record available of the proceedings before Judge Kane in the federal district court and the proceedings in this case before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court of particular interest is the dissent of Justice John C. Knox"" which is not present in the Pennsylvania Reports. ""In addition to the two published opinions of Judge Kane it also includes Kane's opinions and remarks from various hearings not published in Federal Cases"" Finkelman Slavery 41-2. Blockson 2557.
