The Rhode Island Case Decided

The Supreme Court OF the United States
has al last given IFS decision in The case ii
Martin Luther vs.. l.. Nj. Borden Ell al, on
writ Of error from The Circuit Court for
Rhode Island.
The cause Of action originated in The
DOR instruction. The plaintiff, Luther,
was arrested under The operation of Tie
martial law declared by the Government
Of Rhode Island; and subsequently, brought
suit for damages against The officer who
arrested him. The officer pleaded The
martial law in defence; and the Circuit
conr, decided tina, the plea was good. A
writ OF error on this decision was taken
tnihe Supreme Court Of the United States,
and that Court has now confirmed The
judgment OF The Circuit Court.
We have the following brief statement
Of the points decided, in the Washington
correspondence Of The Courier and En-
