was sworn in as a member Of this court
Mr.. Maynard: That he was sworn in az
Senator. ss.sss-n 49,
Judge Brien Suppose that since Sena-
tor Hall was sworn in as member Of this
court, he had foresYorn his allegiance to
this government, and by taking an oath Of
fealty, had become a citizen of another,
would he then have continued competent
70 SIT on this court Would it not be abb
surd to say that he mast have certain quail
fcations when he is elected, but ever after
that, though lacking these qualifications,
he may continue TO sit in this court? So
long as his Office lasts, his responsibility
lasts. To whom is he responsible? To
his constituents. But he has no constiiu-
ents in this State; he does not reside in the
State; he owes his allegiance to another
State than the State of Tennessee. And
when asked, do you reside in district No. -
/ forget the number Of the district which
Senator Hall representative answer IL no /;
] reside in the Statesof Kentucky. Then,
will the court say that siich man is COM
petent to sit as a member Of a court COM
posed of Senators Of Tennessee? a.
The Law isnot moreexplicit in forbidding
man 10 sit as Judge in his own case, or in
the case of one to whom he is related within
the sixth degree of consanguinity, than it
Is in requiring that Juror should be a
citizen Of the State against which the
offense he is to try was committed And
the same law applies to Senators as jurors.
This is a criminal trial, and must be pur-
sned according to the rules that regulate
criminal trials This proposition Is so clear
to my mind, that the mere statement of its
terms carries conviction Of its truth.
On motion of Senator Thompson, the
court adjourned to nine o'clock Tuesday
morning. 81 -
