Description: A transcribed clip from the 22 Dec 1855 Covington Journal stating the following: "We learn from the Maysville Eagle that a judgment for some $1500 was obtained against the steamer Bostona in the Lewis Circuit Court last week for having taken off a slave belonging to Mrs. Eshom. The law of common carriers, always strict and severe when enforced, bears quite hard in this case, but it will make steamboats more careful as to whom they allow to travel with them."; Accessed online at www.NKYViews.com
