After the opening of the Court, and before the
Grand Jury had retired Mr.. Pinkney called the
attention of the Judge to a notice served upon him
the day previous of the issue of writ of hUJeas
corpus from this Court, returnable Tuesday in the
case of William Lynch, who was arrested some days
since and committedon the charge of shooting Mrs
Weitng, some three years ago. Mr.. Pinkney said
that he was not prepared to go into the examina-
ton of the to-day Tuesday, as he had no op-
portunity in such short time of knowing anything
in relation to the matter. Moreover, he under
stood that the Grand Jury was about
to investigate the case, and would also
have the testimony before them during the morn

ter to allow the State opportunity to procure
evidence.-The Court stated that it had issued the
writ on Saturday. 1t understood that the party
had been arrested and committed on the oath of a
person who had gone before the magistrate and
made a charge that he suspected that VIM. Lynch
was the party who had murdered Mrs. Weiting-
The Court did not think that the mere suspicion of
one person. that another had committed a murder
was sufficient ground for arrest and commitment.

asked the Court to enter plea of not guilty as the
State had no evidence to convict him. Mr.. Whit

the indictment. The Court recollected the testi-
mony on the former trial. The traverser with two
Others had been tried for committing an assault
upon Emanuels and two of them found guilty.
Frank Clapp had been tried for stealing but there

session of the prisoner. plea of not guilty was
for the larceny pair of cashmere pants valued
at S3, belonging to Jacob Hecht and also with the
larceny of coat worth S2.75, the property of
David kaufman. The prisoner, upon his arraign-
ment, had pleaded guilty, but certain facts having
come to the knowledge of the State, which led the
States Attorney to believe that the traverser was
