LOVE A MD LAW

On Saturday afternoon last the State Court
House was densely thronged with spectators. to
hear the arguments and learn the decision of
the Judge on the hdbeas corpus sued out by
Lewis Schonbergcr, young man about %
years of age, to get possession Of his wife,
Louisa Ann, who had been iorcibly taken from
him on the morning after their marriage, by
her father, Patrick Jordan, OF Hcnrco, and who
claimed parental custody over her-she being
under 81 years of age, and having married
against his consent.
In addition to the mass who deeply sympa-
thized with the "yOung couple" who had thus
been suddenly torn asunder, the novelty of the
case attracted large number OF members OF
the bar, all of whom seemed eager to hear tAe
argument in behalf Of the father. who had thus
torclby set at defiance the rights of husband,
aud asserted his own authority.
At the appointed hour Judge Clopton took his
seat, and, in a short time thereafter, Col. Au-
gust, for the plaintiff, and Judge Crump, for the
defendant, appeared in Court, and announced
their readiness to proceed. Mr.. Jordan having
arrived with the young bride in his custody,
whose pale cheeks and liquid eyes, as she look
ed upon the man to whom she had plighted her
troth, denoted that she had spent many hours o
deep anxiety since their separation.
The Court being ready to proceed, the Judge
called the witnesses to the book, when the ven
cradle Rev, Philip Courtney. of the Methods
