not bound at all 10 have taken notice of 1t. The
judge then dismissed the whole OF the proceed
ing Another writ of habeaS corpus was then

also irregular, as It should have been served at
the office of the Marshal IN Newlork so that
no writ of habeas corpus is now pending

place Yesterday forenoon and a large number Of
persons were in the Courtroom, (where we are
pleased TO see the Commissioner intends to hold

kecp>ie His friends ieel it Is a hard case, and
if an effort can be made to ra,se the required

While M C. was speaking TO the claimant

did not have any interest in Boldmg, or connec-
ton, in any way, with his claimants He might
possibly he a southern man, but there appeared
