Case of Ford-Baltimore Criminal Court.

Before Judge Stump-Nllton Whitney
esq. prosecuting.-The following business
was transacted In this court Yesterday
On the opening Of the court the prosecuting
attorney addressed the court. saying that the
ease of George Potcc. for murder, was set
down for tomorrow, but the decision of the
Court of Appeals, granting a new trial to
VIM. g. Ford. had made him fearful to begin
any more murder, trials until he could asccr-
tam how far the record of this court would
stand. Theyerdict of this court was properly
made M and the record sent to the Court of
Appeals WAS that William q. Ford was found
guilty Of murder in the first degree The
ease had been sent back to tbs court for u
new trial, after the life of the party had been
placed i'll jeopardy. He would move that the
clerk be instructed TO send TO Annapolis for
Il copy Of the decision. To be kept for future
reference in this court.
Judge Stump replied that the Court of Ap-
pealS had no jurisdiction over this court, and
it possessed no power other than that granted
10y the constitution which said that no mans
life should be twice put in jeopardy for the
same offence. Ford had had 4 fair trial, and
the jury rendered n verdict of murder in
the first degree" which was heard by all in
court, and 10y the prisoner himself The
Court of Appeals could not order this court
nor would this court be made its executiOner.
From his present view OF the case, when the
question came up torargument, he thought
he should order his discharge, there being
no authority to try him again. The court
however would at some other time hear the
motion of the counsel of Ford. and act upon
it; but his view of the matter was that
he would let Ford go free. under the proyi-
sions of the constitution. The court did not
recognize the power of the court of Appeals
to confer jurisdiction on this Court, and when
the case came before him he should decide
the application Irrespective of the decision Of
that trhundi-BaH. SIN.
