Supreme Court on the motion to grant
writ of Habeas CORPUS (Which we shall
endeavor to present in detail) we can on
" cursorily state the proceedings of the
House.
a long and warm debate was maintained
on several of the provisions of the bill, en-
tlrely, however, confined to points previ-
ously discussed, the debates on which have
been given at considerable length.
In committee Of the whole, the punish
ment OF death for importing slaves, was
committed into All imprisonment for not
more than ten, nor less than five years.
In the House this decision was affirmed
Yeas 67--Nays 4S-with the imposition
OF fine not exceeding 10000, nor less than
5000 dollars.

ment, was ordered to third reading on

an argument, Of about one hour and an half
in length, in support Of the motion made
by him the preceding day for a writ of Ha-
beas Corpus m the case of DR.. Bullman.
He divided his argument under TWO PC
neral heads. The first of which was Iii
rccted to sustain the constitutional and le-
gal right of the court generally TO grant
wrlts OF Habeas Corpus and the second,
to prove the present case proper for the
interpretation of the power of the court.
Mr.. Martin observed that Mr.. Harper
had Gone so July and comprehensively into
the argument, that he would not take up
the time of tho court by Offering any addi-
tionll remarks.

take time to. consider before they gave
their opinion.
On Thursday, the Chief Justice observ-
eb, that there was some contrariety of scu-
timent among the members of the court,
and that the delivery oftheir opinion would
