Aiding Slaves to escape.

--A negro back driver, known as Isaac, was before the Recorder yesterday charged with aiding a slave woman, the property of Miss Taylor, to escape from her mistress. Several witnesses were called on to testify, but as none of them could identify the accused as the driver of the hack in which the negroes fled, he was discharged. Negroes are not allowed to ride in hacks, under any circumstances, except to attend funerals, and then the number of hacks are not to exceed four if the deceased is a slave. Hackmen should remember this fact.
