x;epe of that writ remains alike to all of them, but
to be Judged granted or refused, discharged or
enforced-by the proper tribunals according to the
circumstances of each case and as the comm tment
and detention may appear to be legal or Illegal
The whole effect of the law may be thus briefly
stated Congress has constituted a tribunal, with
exclusive jurisdictions to determine summarily, and
without appeal who are fugtiyes from service or Ia
Dor under the second section of the fourth article of
the constitution, and to whom such service Or labor
is due. The judgment OF every tribunal OF exclusive
jurisdictions where appeal lies, is of necessity
elusive upon every other tribunal and therefore the
Judgment of the tribunal created by this act is con-
elusive upon all tribunals. Wherever this Judgment
is made appear it is conclusive of the right of the
owner to retain in his custody the fugitive from his
service and to him back to the place or State
from which he escaped fit is shown upon the APP
pcation of the fugitive for writ of habeas corpus
it prevents the issuing of the writfupon the return
it discharges the writ and restores maintains the
custody.
This view of the law of this case is fully sustained
by the decision of the Supreme Court of the u s. in
the case of Tobias Watkins where the court refused
to discharge upon the ground that he in custo-
dy under the sentence of court of competent uris
diction, and that judgment was conclusive upon
them 6 Pet, 202)
The expressions used in the last clause of the sixth
section that the certificate therein alluded shall
prevent all molestation :" of the persons to whom
mean only what the act of 1913 meant. by declaring
a certificate under that act sufficient warrant for
the removal of fugitive and certainly do not mean
a suspension of the habeas corpus.
| conclude by repeating my conviction that there
is nothing in the bill in question which conflicts
with the constitution, or suspends, intended
to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeds corpus
