Bags Hotel, Utica, Monday, July IL.
The decision of the Supreme Court in the case
of Mcleod was rendered in this city o.day. His
application for discharge on Habeas Corpus
refused, and he remanded for trial on an in
dctment for Murder. The opinion of the Court
was read by Justice Cowen, and the other Judges,
Nelson and Bernan, con Cured entirely in it. 1t
was quite long and drawn up with no little abili-
ty.
The facts alleged by Mcleod on his trial. viz
that he was absent at the time of the Murder Of
Durfee committed, &c. were set aside avail
able only on his trial before jury: habeas cor
pus they are not available even as an argument for
ad hitting the prisoner to hail. much less for grant
ing him what he asks,-an unconditional dis
charge.
AS to the plea made by his cons ell that the mat
ter of right belongs TO the forum of nations, mas
much the act was committed during the exist
ence of international hostues, the Court declared
that, far from Great Britain and the United
States being at war, both nations exerting
themselves TO the utmost to avoid such turn of
the frontier excitement as might eventually lead TO
war. This question very fully examined by
the learned Judge, and English authorities were
cited to sustain this view of the The des
truction of the Caroline was act of mere arbitra
ry usurpation, and it is impossible, even by dplo
matte ingenuity to mako it legitimate war.
1t is said of the case at bar, that McLeods re
lease has been demanded by the British Govern
menr, and that this compatible with judicial
proceeding against him. With reference to this
