That if, when Mr. Buckner returned to Virginia in Novr. 1830, he left the Petitioner in Washington, hired out at service 'til June 1832, and made no attempt to carry her out 'til then sent for, then the Defendant is not within the provision of the 4th Section of the Maryland Law. Anno 1796, Ch. 67.
