Colvin against Morgan.
    A member of the assembly is not entitled to his privilege after he has reached home though within the fourteen days.
    The defendant in this cause moved to be discharged from the arrest, on the ground that, being a member of the assembly, he was arrested within fourteen days after leaving the legislature, but he did not state whether he had reached his home or not, at the time of the arrest.
   Per Curiam.

If the defendant arrived at his home within the fourteen days, and before the arrest, the reason of his privilege, and, of course, the privilege itself ceased. (Rev. Laws of N. Y. vol. 1, p. 133.) As the defendant does not state where he was at the time he was arrested, the motion must be denied, with eosts.

Rule refused.
