SAVANNAH, June 14.-Yesterday Mr.. VIII
liam Borthwck, the cashier of the bank of East
Lothian, in Scotland, who was arrested few
DAYS ago, and who is charged with hav-
inc eloped with one hundred and seyenty-seven
thousand dollars, of the funds Of that institution,
was brought before Judge Charlton, by writ of
Habeas Corpus. Borthwick was committed by
a Judge, under a general affidavit that he ans
wercd The description Of the cashier, who was
in default 10 the bank Of Lothian.
Judge Charlton decided, that the prisoner
was not charged with any criminal offence
and that if he had been, that offence would ap-
pear to have been committed in foreign Coun-
try, over which the court had no jurisdiction.
There was no principal of amity, or information
al law which would authorize the arrest of
fugitive from the justice of foreign indepen-
dent sovereignty. 1t must be matter entirely
dependent upon treaty arrangements. Under
these grounds if we correctly understood the
Judge, he directed the prisoner to be disChar-
ged.
Borthwiclz, however, was Immediately after
wards arrested by order OF the Judge, on bill
in chancery praying for the writ, ne ereat-a
discovery of the affairs in relation to the bank,
and for an accountant required to give bail
TO abide the decree.
He has leave however, after notice, as we
are informed, to move to set aside this writ of
ne Great.
The prisoner not being able to procure bail
has been committed to goal. Republican.

harshness of Messrs. W. and s. were visited on
