Where a fugitive slave takes refuge in the house of any person, the latter must give notice to the authorities of the district; and should he desire to keep said fugitive in custody, in his house, it shall be lawful for him to do so. When the master of said slave comes after him, he shall be restored to him, and he who sheltered said slave shall incur no liability. But if, in the meantime, the said fugitive slave should betake himself elsewhere, he who gave notice to the authorities shall make oath, in their presence, that he did not persuade said fugitive to escape, or assist him in his flight, and that he is ignorant of his present whereabouts; and, after having done this, he shall be in no way responsible. =X. Where a Slave that has been sold into a Foreign Country, Returns as a Fugitive, and is Sold a Second Time, he shall be Entitled to his Freedom.= Where a master sells his slave, and he is taken into a foreign country, and afterwards returns, and his master sells him a second time, the master shall be forced by the judge to redeem said slave from the purchaser; and the latter shall then be liberated, and subjected to no further annoyance. He who, actuated by avarice, thus placed a slave, returning from a foreign country, in bondage a second time, shall be compelled to give to the purchaser another slave of the same value, in addition to the price which was paid. The former master of the returned slave shall not sell him, or have any right to his services; but said slave shall be forever entitled to the full enjoyment of his freedom. =ANCIENT LAW.= =XI. Where a Fugitive Slave Takes Refuge with Another Person, an Investigation must be Made, to Ascertain whether he was not Sent by his Master, in Order that the Latter might Receive Compensation from the Person who Received said Slave.= A fugitive slave shall be compelled to disclose the name of his master, and shall be thoroughly examined by the judge, in order to ascertain whether his master did not cause him to take refuge with another person for the sake of illegal gain. And if it should be established that his master was guilty of fraud, whereby he desired to implicate another in the crime of having knowingly concealed his slave, he shall be liable for such damages as are imposed upon those who wilfully conceal slaves. For it is but just that he who is guilty of such malignant treachery should pay the penalty which he attempted to impose upon another. =ANCIENT LAW.= =XII. Where a Slave, Falsely Declaring that he is Free, Serves Another for Hire.=
