| | Mary L. Cox. Narrative of Dimmock Charlton, a British Subject, Taken from the Brig "Peacock" by the U.S. Sloop ... |
 | | The subject of it is a venerable and intelligent native African, recently arrived here from Savannah, Georgia, where he was known as DIMMOCK CHARLTON, and served more than forty years as the slave of various parties, while he claims to have been a British subject, and entitled to British protection. |
 | | To look at the subject in any other light would have been were magnanimity and gratuitous generosity in Robinson; and he, probably, is not a man who permits himself to be carried away by such enthusiastic impulses. |
 | | Miss Kerr, moreover, in her testimony before Judge Robertson, in the case of the child Ellen, said, she had long known that Dimmock claimed to be a British subject, and to have been taken a prisoner of war in the brig Peacock, and she believed it to be true. |
