CIRCUIT COURT, May 27-In the matter Of VII
sen Copeland, claimed as a fugitive slave by
IgnstiTs Waters, Of Montgomery county, Mary;
Breed, Of this city, praying that writ Of haben,
corpus may issue to Marshal Lamon, Commanding
him to produce the body of said Copeland. The
petition sets forth that said Copeland Ia impris-
oned and restrained Of his liberty illegally, and
that neither the act Of Congress approved Feb
ruary IL, 1793 nor any other act, authorizes such
Imprisonment.
The Court was about to refuse the application,
but Mr.. Dean requested to be heard on the SUBJ
ject, and expressed his belief that he could con-
vince the Court, by argument Of their consttu-
tional right to grant the writ; and the Court set
Thursday morning at O'Clock for the hearing.
May 2s.-The witnesses have all been examined
In the case Of Hamilton, Easter & Co, W. Hugh
B. Sweeney, Chas. E: Rtttenhouse, II g. Pant,
Samuel Fowler, and w. T. Heron; and the argu-
ment commenced this afternoon.
SERIOUS AccIDENT.-As Mr.. Hammack, from
Washington, was driving d lady friend named
Wheeler, Of this city, out In buggy, on Monday
afternoon last Charles street, near the bridge,
his horse became unmanageable, and started OF
thrown out Of the buggy, and received several
severe bruises. Mr.. Hammack held on to the
reins for some time after Miss w heeler was
thrown out, until one OF the wheels Of the buggy
struck the curbstone, the force Of which threw
him out. His head was severely cut In two or
three places, and he was otherwise bruised. They
were both removed TO the residence OF Miss
Wheeler, on Gay street, near Second, where Mr..
III. was boarding, and DIR. John III. Buckler was
called to attend them.-Baltimore Clipper.
PARDoNs.-The President has pardon Emanu-
ell Riaerd, who was convicted Of larceny at the
December term Of the Criminal Court, and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for Is months, an
James Ranking, soldier, who was convicted In
June last, Of robbery and sentenced to 3 years
years imprisonment. The reasons for granting
the former is that an Investigation has been had
and there is some doubt OF his guilt, and that be
had borne a 2 God character; and for the latter
pardon, that some palliating circumstances have
been adduced, rendering his guilty intention
doubtful.
