CASE OF TOBIAS WATKINS.

By the judgement of the supreme court of the Uni

the discharge Of Tobias Watkins from imprisonment
is decreed The grounds of the decision, we believe,
are informality in the proceedings in the

state more particularly than san. Mr.. Wat

leaving the court he had not passed the threshold Of
the capitol before he arrested by The rshal,

confined and carried again TO prison. This proceed

those who ought to ''cast the first stone at him We
do not believe that this unfortunate intend

yate purposes, and never returned tor have paid

by some bubble of the law; but he erred greatly.
