JEFFERSON DAVIS s :
JUDGE UEDERwoOD,s REFUSAL
TO RELEASE HIM ON BAIL. az
HE IS HELD As A Military PRISONER.
He is Not in the Custody of the Civil
Authorities. n III

In the matter Of the application for the
release Of Jefferson Daris on bail.
/ have considered the application
made by MIR. Shea, of counsel, to ad-
init Jefferson Davis to bail.
Under the circumstances, the applica-
ton might have been more properly
made to me when recently holding the
Circuit Court at Richmond.
But under the law it may doubtless
be made also in vacation, and I will
briefly state my views of it and my con-
illusions: 5s5s sas52,,;.f
In the States which were lately in
active rebellion, military Jurisdiction is
still exercised and martial law enforc-
ed. ~ ~ 9
The civil authorities, State and Fed
eral, have been required or permitted
to resume partially their respective
functions, but the President, as Com
mander-in-C Chief, still controls their ac-
ton so far as he thinks such control
necessary to pacifcation and restora-
ton.
In holding the District and Circuit
Courts of Virginia, I have uniformly
recognized this condition. -
Jefferson Davis was arrested under a
proclamation of the President, charging
him with completely in the assassination
of the late President Lincoln. He has
been held ever since, and is now held, as
military prisoner. He is not and never
has been in the custody of the marshal
for the District of Virginia, and lie is not
therefore, within the power Of the court.
While this condition remains, no prop
osition for bail can be properly enter
tanned, and Il do not wish to indicate any
probable action under the circumstances.
