Suit OF Passmore Williamson VS.. Judge
Lewis,

We see by the Philadelphia papers that the
suit Of Williamson against the late Chief Jus.
tice Lewis, arising out ofjudicial proceedings
in the case Of Col. Wheeler's slaves, has, at
length been decided in favor CT the defen-
dant. The public, it will be remembered,
was very much agitated two or three years
ago by the sharp work Of the Pennsylvania
lawyers against thu late Judge Kane and
Justice Lewis. The press says, in William
sons case:
1.-The court, after hearing all the plaintiffs
evidence, directed a mOn-Suit, on the ground
that the haJeaS corpus act did not apply to
cases Of commitments in execution of tinal
judgements after trial, but only to warrants
of arrest issued before trial. 1t seems to be
settled that judge has no right to allow a
writ OF ha6edS corpus where it appears, 90
the applicants own showing, that the pris-
oner is legally Imprisoned under the sentence
or judgement Of court of competent ,juris-
diction, as was the case with Mr.. William.
son.
"Thus, although it is highly probable that
MIR. Williamson will carry the case still
further, this vexatous case may be said to be
settled on enduring principles Ex-Chief
Justice Lewis (now private citizen Lewis) de-
clined taking advantage of any of the tecbni-
calities Of the case, tut threw himself for
