Mr. MASTERS. ltis the fri time ever heard
Of defendant under Indictment for public offence
petitionng the representatives of the people inter-
fere and arrel hin, from public iufce. 1t is kind
of innputatinn on this Houfe.
The petitioner is acculed of breach of the law
and is called anfwer that accua,ion before the
proper forum, it does not belong to this Houie to
interfere with that tribunal; the contribution has iet
apart and defined the different powers.
The memorialilfs attempt to eliminate the admit
ni'tration. The administration ,fs not trial be-
fore this Houfe. IF the diira judge in the courle Of
the examination and trial, acts corrupty, there is
proper time and manner of bringing him contutial-
ly before this Houe. We ought not TO countenance
the defendants endeavors can odium the
court before whom the trial is depending, and the
petition ought to be dsmlIed, in froncer language
than sexpre1ed in the refolution
