Important Decision.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 81.
In the case of e. w. Woolley and. Kim
berly 81 Brothers, in the Superior Court of
Baltimore city, against Gen. Butler, a de.
cision was given to-day by Judge Dobbin,
on motions to vacate the summons, and de-
clare them illegal. The opinion is lengthy,
concluding as follows: l am of opinion
that the privilege of Senators and Repre-
sentatives, secured to them by the Consti-
tuition of the United States, exempt them
only from an actual arrest of their person
or service upon them of such process, the
disregard of which would expose them to
an attachment for contempt or personal
molestation. As the writs of summons in
these cases involve none of these conse-
quences, l shall overrufe the motions res
pectively made in them.
