Judge Barnard's Grand Coup do MINI ON
Their General Discharge-A Test Case Sub
mitted to tho Supreme Courf, General
Term.
The attention OF the Supreme Court General
Term Judges Ingraham. Barnard and Cardozo on
the bench, was occupied yesterday by hearing an
argument IN the case OF Edward I. Hewlett, pris-
oner In Ludlow Street JAIL In November last, as
will DO remembered, Judge Barnard, while sitting
at Oyer ana Termlner, undertook q general dis
charge OF the prisoners confined on civil suits In
Ludlow Street Jail. He had all such prisoners
brought before him, and. after an examination into
the circumstances OF their arrest and mprison.
ment, discharged two or three on the spot
and ordered the discharge Of some twenty others.
some on their own recognzance. absolutely and
some on reduced bail. Sherin Brennan, to whom
the order OF discharge was directed, thought II
BEST however to take advice before complying with
an order so unusual. and upon doing was IN.
formed by counsel that Judge Barnard had ex-
ceeded his judicial powers and that II he released
the prisoners he would not be freed from the re-
sponsIbllty resting on him as Sheriff towards the
Judgment creditors. He accordingly held on to his
here. With view to testing the case, Judge Bar
nard on the 2sth OF November, issued q peremptory
time granted stay CT proceedings, to allow the
case to be brought on writ OF certl0rarl before the
Generai Term. AS the ulSCnarge or nOlulnB OF tue
other prisoners depends on the decsi0n unusual In.
terest attaches to the case. AS already stated, the
case came up yesterday for argument.
Mr.. Vanderp0el on behalf OF the Sheriff, insisted
that Hewlett was detained by the final Judgment Of
q competent tribunal, and for this reason not en-.
titled to the writ OF haDeas corpus; that this mat
ter coming up the December writ, and the return
that Hewlett was held on final Judgment being
made to that writ, Justice Barnard should have DIS
missed the writ. lie insisted further tn to the
order OF November 1t was made without jursdic-
ton, the Court OF Oyer and Terminer having as
such no jurisdiction 10 discharge prisoners held ON
final executions IN civil actions, and jurisdiction
OF the case having been obtained Dy the Special
Term.
Mr.. Van Wyck. for Mr.. Hewlett, urged in reply
that the statutory power OF the Court OF Oyer aud
Termincr or jais In the county was absolute ana
discretionary; that the Court could not go behind
the return to the certiorar, and on that II affirmed
that tho order or November was made both In the
Supreme Court and the Court OF Oyer ana Ter
miner, and moreover that the order was made
alter notice to the Judgment creditors; that II this
order was Valid and 1t could only be Invalid
through an utter lack OF jurisdiction then the petit
toner was not held under process, but without any
authority whatever, and In contempt OF the Court
The Court at the close Of the argument, took the
papers, re5eryinY Its decision.
