CONFEDERATE AUTHORITIES. '-ln the
Washington Court on Saturday ;;"Morehead W.
BOYLE. Justice Wylie delivered the opinion OF
the court, in substance as follows:
This is an action brought by Eliza More
head against Cornelius Boyle for an arrest OF
her for passing through the rebel lines in Flr-
ginia.1 The arrest is not denied, but DR.. Boyle
puts In the plea that at the time he was pro
vost marshal in the rebel service, charged with
the supervision Of that part OF Virginia and
that he acted under the orders of General
B%eauregard and that tho Supreme Court has
decided that acts done bona hde under a gov,
eminent de facto cannot subject an ot1cial
Hereunder to an action. We have come to the
conclusion to sustain the demurrer. lt IS true
the Supreme Court of the United States nave
decided that the acts of the rebel authorizes
will be considered binding 80 far as they we're
society. Whether the courts were properly
authorized or not is not the question. These
decisions are binding, because necessary, and
are so considered by the International law.
We do not think it was necessary tor the
preservation of good order that DR.. Boyle
should arrest Mrs. Morehead and detain her fol
three years. We certainly do not think tina
the fact that 8 trespasser was q rebel omcla
and Committed the trsspass in the rebel service
is a good plea in bar to q trespass tor when ~
would have been liable if he had not been II
rebellion. We therefore sustain the demurrer.
