Mr. Whitney here stated to the Court that he had
previously filed suggestion for the removal of the
case of VIM. G.. Ford, (who was convicted at the
September Term of this Court for the murder of
Thomas ii. Burnham,) to an adjoining county for
trial. The term in which the suggestion was fled
was subsequent to that at which the issue was
joined, and by the requirement of the act of assem-
bly, 1t was therefore necessary to put the sugges-
tion in another form. He had withdrawn the sug-
gestion first fled and filed another in accord
ance with the act. He had also filed motion for
the Court to pass an order for the removal of the
record of proceedings in the case, and it was his
desire that the Court would act in the matter as
soon possible.
Mr. Cowan, counsel for Ford, said he had no OBJ
lection to make to the States Attorney withdraw
ing the suggestion first filed; he had perfect right
to do so, as decided by the Court of Appeals From
expressions made by this Court on former occasions
he had been led to believe that the position it
sumed was that its jurisdiction in the case had en-
trey ceased, and that it would not take cognizance
OF any matters further relating to it, He had moth
ing more to say on the subject at present
The Court remarked that it would like to hear
thequestion for removal fully argued before it
There were many points law in the case and some
decisions bearing upon it; the Court after hearing
the arguments, might be induced to change its
opinion.
Mr.. Whitney.-"Wil your Honor fix day to
hear the argument?"
The Court.-"Not to-day; but the Court will fix
some day during the latter part of the term"
