uiniM Iunnrtnnt La,p Case.

Don Josenh Aimeida was lately arrest
ed on charge of Piracy under the Span
;sb Treaty. In virtue of warrant issued
by Justice of the Peace for the State OF
MARYLAND, under the act Of Congress OF
1850. A TIabeas Corpus was granted by
Judge Bland, made returnable before Bal
timore County Court.
The case was argued before Judges
BLAND and Hanson, aud it was urged
among other objections on the part ofthe
Prisoner. that Congress hadno power I'm
der the Constitution ofthe u. States, 10
invest any Judge or Justice of the Peace
with any Judicial authority whichis con
fined by the Constitution 10 the Supreme
Court, and such inf rior tribunals as Con-
gress shall from fimeto time ordain.-
Entil the Judges concurring in supporting
this objection, and gave separate and Ella
b0rate opinions, discharging the Prisoner,
arcong other reasons for defect of autho
rify i'm the Magistrate on whose warrant
the arrest was made.
Bv the above decision it is in eject de-
clarrd that no State Judge or Justice of
the Peace has power 10 arrest or commit
anv person for a violation Of The laws OF
the y. States.
The reasoning ofihe Judges, we under
stand. appeared TO be satisfactory TO the
Gentlemen of the Bar-aud we should be
glad if The opinions of the Judges could
sIe published, iii order that the grounds
of the decisions may be publicly known,
that Congress may without delay apply
lie proper remedy. Bat. Gag.
