STOLEN TEA RECOVERED.
THE REVOCATION OF d PARDON

JUDGE BLATCHFoRD HOLDS THAT TIE PARDON
OF DEPUY WAS LEGALLY CANCELLED, AND
REFUSES TO DISCHARGE THE PRISONER.
In the habeas corpus case pending before
Judge BlachfOrd in which the return of Moses Depuy
was sought on the ground that he wrongully con
fined, having been pardoned by President johnson,
Judge Batchford has rendered his decision. After

The main question in the to legal delivery
Of the PARDON whether the delivery the Marshal

beyond the control Of President Grant 1t had been
tended that when pardon received the signature OF the
President and the seal Of the State Department had been
affixed, IL completed act, and had passed beyond
the power OF revocation but he did not think so.
pardon was different from commission delivery or
acceptance OF latter not being necessary to complete
the pardon is governed by the same principle as
deed TO complete which, both delivery and acceptance
are necessary The question arises whether this
pardon delivered to the prisoner In point OF
law The intention Of President TO grant
pardon although the pardon is issued is simply matter
OF intended favor until the act is made complete by
legal delivery. It had been decided that to make legal
delivery the pardon must either be put IN the personal
possession OF the person for whom is intended OF the
officer who has him custody The Marshal has no con.
troll Depuy who in the custody OF the Warden OF
the Penitentary The delivery to the Marshal was not
delivery to the Warden aud, in this the pardon
went further than into the MarshaPs hands IL IS
provocative OF tho Presidential office TO stop pardon
short OF delivery. such stoppage is not revocation
as the pardon not complete. The Presidential once
never dies II President johnson had right TO recall so
had President Grant The prisoner s not entitled to his
discharge the ground that the pardon was never
legally delivered.
