punishable with fac and whipping and tina
pmnishrie has uniformly been inflicted Within
the District for offences of that nature.
The question which arose was, whether the
CoHrt could punish under the law of Maryland
or whether that act Mas not virtually repealed
by the act of Congress, under which alone iud--
ment could be pronounced tor such an offence
The point, we understand was argued some
what AT lcnGth. Walter Jones, ESQ the Dis
lric, Attorney. for the prosecution, aud Messrs.
Key aud ltcdin, tor the prisoner.
Tie court determined that they could mass
sentence under the act of Congress only, and
adlndged the prisoner, Black on his intici-
meni, paya fine of eighty dollars, and TO re-
cei,e whipping o; forty lashes.
The same point arose also ia the case of
Nathan UGy. who, in conjunction with others.
broke into aud robbie dsfhe store of Mr. Fitz-
hugh, about twelve months Since He was
indicted under a law of Maryland which pnn-
ishes the breaking into and robbing a store
house. with deAh. The Cont sentenced him.
under the act ut Congress, TO pay fine Of 81 OOo
aud 10 be whipped.
Tie principle established in these eases is inn
portant, and tnterestin@ ~ as much as n eoes
to declare all the acts at MARYLAND void which
punish stealing with death, ot with any 9th,
punishment different hom that which the a,
Oi Cougress prescribes.
