    Indictment for horse-stealing.

    claimed the right of peremptory challenge, and referred to Samuel Black's case, at December term, 1819, (ante, 195,) where it was allowed.
   But

the Court

refused to allow it; because in that case the Court had to decide whether they could not sentence the prisoner to death under the law of Maryland.
