MOST INTERESTING LEGAL DECISION.

CHARLESTON, AUG. cimsequence of
.(1-lencral Orders of his Excaency Joseph Alston,
gilvertior of this State, a General Court-Martial,
of which.
..Colonel Youngblood was President,
convened at.tbe Magazine, on Charleston Neck,
co, Moodily, the 9th inst. for the purpose of qying,
under rho 'hulls and Articles of War, certain citi-
zens of Charleston, .defaulters front the late de-
tachments ordered out by the Governorto Stew's
Point and to guard the Mal io.ine; who were
cluircil with disobedience anti mutinous conduct.
Nntnerous exceptions to the jurisdiction of the
Court having been taken, and over-ruled, when
the trial had proceeded three days, it writ of liu-
heas Corpus was obtained:l)y Win. Crafts, jun.
.I.;sq, in fa vont. of Mr.. James Limb, one of the ini-
sotterS, which was made .teturnable on the 13th
inst.. before his Honour Jtvlge Bay.
On the 'return of the writ it was moved. to.dis-
charge the prisoner,. on the ground that tt 'was
not liable to the Articles of War, and tliat
Court Martial was not organiz.ed agreeably to the
Jaw fortrying offences, in the Militia. The argu-
taunt coiltinued fur five days, and wO Managed
with great ability and eloquence.' .
For the motion, Messrs. Ford, Sittrons, and
Crafts. Against it, the Judge:Advocate General,
'Messrs. Pringle, Parker, linger, and !leach,
His Honour the Judge deferred,giyjnk his de.
eision until yesterday, when, after an elaborate
and elotinent review of the ariotments and the law,
be ordered that the prisoner should bedischarged.
The prote.edings of the Court Martial are con,:
sequeotly at an end. No question ever excited;a
Ileepe( 01. more universal interest in the commit-
,nity than this ; alit' we believe no decision was
ever more suLailactory.
