Judge Brady, sitting in supreme Court, Chambers,
Yesterday on application OF Mr.. William +. Howe
granted discharges from the Peuitentiary OF fifty OF
those FOR whom wrts OF habeas corpus were re-
Gently granted on the ground OF their Illegal con-
vlction In the Court OF Special Sessions. This il the
first batch OF the 282 for whom wrts were granted.
1t will be understood that pursuant to the judges
recent decision the prisoners are transferred TO
the Tombs to await their retral on the original
charges preferred against them. These trials the
District Attorney proposes to hurry forward as
speedily as possible or at least dispose OF their
cases, for the probability is that in large majority
OF them the compainants cannot be found, and that
there will be no other alternative but their dis
charge. We give below list of the fifty embraced
In the Judges order yesterday together with the
time OF their commitment and their respective
offences and terms OF sentence -
