John Andrews, which were originally heard
Common Pleas, and remanded from that
?ral Sessions, sustaining the motion of the

Attorney-General to dismiss the writs and bind the relators
to answer at the present term of the General Sessions. The
court then ordered the parties to give bail each in the sum of
10,000 dots. for their appearance from day to day. By the ad-
vice of their respective counsel, the defendants were com-
mitted into the custody of the sheriff, when writs of ha-
beas corpus were sued out before the judges of the court
with the view of having them discharged, and Monday, the
21th instant, fixed for hearing them. Au argument took
place between the several counsel and the Attorney-General
in reference to the hearing of the cases separately or toge-
ther, the Attorney-General being anxious to have them heard
jointly, and the counsel for the relators urging that they may
be heard singly. The matter was left undetermined, the
Court suggesting that the question might be left open until
