In consequece of what passed with nerd to this case On Saturday last, the Court was this morning crowded, but no motion of any kind was made by either side, contrary to the expectation of the whole Coutt. Mr. HORNE, just at the rising of the Court, ad dressed his Lordship, My Lord, previous to rur leaving the Court, i!llow me to mention in the case of Tempest and Ord, for the purpn , e of relieving the anxiety of the partie:, and to give no further trouble to the Court, that it is not intended on the part of Lard Stewart to make any further motion to the Court. The motives of the other parties have been taken, and I have no wish to make any. application." LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT. CASE OP TUE BANKRUPT CRAWLEY. It will be recollected that mention has been made of this case in some of our preceding reports. It was an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus, to dis charge the bankeupt out of custody ; the motion was Opposed on the ground that there existed no power in. the Lord Chancellor to grant writs of Habeas Corpus in the vacation. Tice tee , h ts telder e one a long argument on both sides, and his Lordship this day, to pursuance to the intimation he hau given, decided the case by his judo • ment, thereby deciding the future practice of the Court on this important question affecting. so mate • riady the-liberty.of the subject. The Logo Cuastest.t.oa inquired whether any no tice had been given to the Commissioners of Bank met o.) this motion? Mr. Ross replied in the negative. He believed no one appeared on behalf of the Commissioners. , The LORD CHANCEL Loft understood that there were more than one action against the Commissioners foci this very cemmitnient, and it appeared that the bank-, nee eels pressing his discharge. in order to enhance the damages upon the action. Under these circum4 stances, he should think himself hound to hear any gentleman who should appear to-morrow on behalf of the Commissioners; nut he should now proceed to declare the opinion he had formed, after a very long an 1 laborious examination into the various authors ties for and against the application. The maxim of the law was, that the writ of Habeas Corpus was a very high prerogative inherent in the Crown, by which the King had the right of inquiring into the cause why any of his subjects were deprived of their liberties. The first authority to which he should refer was that of Lord Coke, who, in his Readings upon Magna Charta, had declared that the Court of Chancery had the right of issuing writs of Habeas Corpus, in the vacation as well as in Term time ; giving as his reason, that this Court was 9 . lflcina juditi,r, and was never adjourned. Lord Coke also, in page 81 of his 4to Institutes, took notice of this power of the Court of Chancery, and observed that " this Court is the rather always open ;" and gave the special reason, that if a man be wrongfully impri wined in the vacation, the Lord Chancellor might do him justice according to law. Neither the Court of King's Bench nor the Common Pleas could grant writs of Habeas Corpus out of Term, but the Court of Chancery could grant them at any time. In page 82, spe iking of the remedy for unjust impnion ment, an I ie page 290, discussing the forest laws in the 4th I ,litote, Lord Coke also touched upon this qUestion, and re-assefeed his former declarations, that • debito justUitz a subject was entitled to a set it of' Habeas Corpus out of Chancery at all time:. His Lordship nest referred to the statute 16 Car. I. which made certain regulations relative to the Privy Coun cil, abuiished the High Court of Star Chamber, and gave the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas a power to interfere in favour of the subject, and to grant writs of Habeas Corpus in certain cases men tioned in the statute. This, his Lordship observed, was a statute by which it was impossible to ascertain what were the powers of the Court of King's Winch, as far as regarded these writs out of Term, or what, was the power of the Common Pleas in these respects either in or out of Term. The statute took eci notice of the Court of Chancery. At present, there could' be no doubt but that the Court of, King's Bench could issue writs of Habeas Corpus both in and out of Term, and the Common Pleas also, with a few exceptions. This power was given to the latter Court by the decision given in the famous case of Bushell, reported in Vaughan. 'the next greet authority on this point was that of Lord Chief Justice Hale, who had followed the example of Lord Coke. in deciding, that the Lord Chancellor had the power of granting writs of Habeas Corpus in vacation. He considered this opinion of Lord Hale to be of great weight, re gard being had to the time in winch his Lordship had lived, and the various important olficee he had filled. It would be recollected that Lord Hale was made a Judge of the Common Pleas in ILIA, a Lord Chief Baron in 1660, and aChici Justice of the Court of King's Bench in 11771. He resigned that office in 167.5, and died 1676. It appeared, therefore, that Lord Halelived in a period when he must have been extremely conversant with what were the different notions entertained in the various Courts in West minster-ball, as to what construction was to be put lupon the statute of the bath Charles I. It was then the opinion of Lord Hale, that , 4 by virtue of the statute of Magna Charta, and also by common law, writs of Habeas Corpus may issue out of :he Chan eery," but but it seems regularly that. d;is writ should issue from the Court of Chancery in vacation, and ' from the Court of King's Bench in the Term time only. Lord Hale had therefore adopted that great principle upon which Lord Coke had acted, that wherever the statute declared that no man should be deprived of his liberty, but by the judgment of his peers, is the law of the land, and this principle was inherent in the Constitution. It was incumbent upon the Courts of Law to find the means of making the law effectual. This was the idea which this great man entertained, and be considered that, as the Court of King's Bench had only the power to grant writs of Habeas Cos pus in term time, and that as the Com mon Pleas had then no power of granting such writs in criminal cases, it was absolutely necessary for the preservation of the liberty of the subject, that a power of bailing should exist in some tribunal. The Court of Chancery, being the ecitm justiiiir, was considered to plums that power en all occasions.— It might indeed be asked why the Statute of 15 Car. I. till not tate notice 14' the eisteee of this power itt the Court of 'Chaucety ? . Hi% ats..vei wai, and he thought it amply sufficient, that Lord Hole, so well acquainted as he must have boon with this Statute, would not have laid down this doctrine so forcibly, if he had not thought the Statute Of no effect, as far as regarded this question. His Lord,- ' ship, after having read at some length the opinion I:of Lcrd Chief•Jusuce Wilmot, de'ivered on that fa-: mobs . case of Jenks, proceeded to sti•te, that previous to the Restoration, the instances were very rare in-' deed of any writs of Habeas airtes bein4 issued by the Judges of she King's lkach in vacation ' • and it was quite clear drat, until Burchell's case, the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas had no idea that they had any power to issue Habeas Corpus in crimina. matters in term time; arc: until the Stakii:e 3'4 Car. 11. had passed, they had no power 0/Issuing any writ of that nature out of berm. If, therefore, he found in these judicial writers not only the doctrine laid down, but the method of proceeding pointed out, he could have, he thought, little he s itation in deciding in favour of the application: and he might ask, (the answer to which %%fluid be a confirmation of this opinion) what was to become of the liberty of the subject between the passing of Magna Charta, and the passing of the Act 32 Car. 11. if the Judges of Westminster Hall thought that one Court only had the power of issuing writs of Habeas Corpus in term time ? The case of Jenks was certainly a posi tive authority that the then Lord Chancellor could apt grant die writ in vacation ; but it did not appear Co him,. that all the consideration which might have been given to the subject had been given in a case 'Which was of so doubtful a nature. He did not think that Jenlas case was one of suffizient strength to bear him up against the current of doctrine which he had found in so many able rakers, and particularly in a case in which the liberty of tte subject was so mate rially concerned. It arpeared, therefore, to him to be his duty to grant the application for the writ ; but at the same time he could not help observing., that there was great inconvenience in applying ror such an instrument to this Court: if the subject, how ever. thought proper to avail himself of this right, as lie understood the law, he could not salvo jura ',rent,' refuse it.
