The Supreme Court is now in SEES
sion here, and will doubtless consume
nearly two weeks in disposing of the
business before it, In the ha5ea8 corpus
case of Rev Mr. Foster, of Chester,
who was committed to jail last autumn
for refusing (by advice of his attorney,
c. n. Davenport, of Brattleboro,) to
answer before Hugh Henry, a magis-
trate, all the questions that Luther Adj
ans, the opposing attorney, put to him
in giving a deposition, Judge Barrett
read an elaborate opinion sustaining the
magistrate and his authority, so that the
respondent must answer. 1t is not to be
supposed, however, that the worthy
clergyman has been in jail all this time,
Gov. Converse having at once ON his
Committal, bailed him out, and he re-
sumed his parochal duties This was a
question made for the benefit of the
lawyers and the people-to know wheth-
cr a party plaintiff in suit can be COM
PEELED to testify by giving his deposition
in his own case, at the summons of his
adversary previous to trial of his case
in court, and, as it would seem, for the
benefit of his opponent
L. 7 ;n,,f
Cellent health, and made one of his best
efforts in the argument of a case heard
by the court on Thursday. We are glad
to know he is SO well, for, if the people
have their say in the matter, he will be
our next Governor. 1t is to be hoped
that the Republican State Committee,
who have for three years past called the
nominating convention at Rutland and
Burlington, will this year find a place
large enough on the east side of the
mountain to hold the people. In years
gone by, White River Junction answered
the purpose, and we once remember to
have attended such Il convention at Bel
lows Falls; but that was before the last
census. And yet, if the State Commit
tee will let Swain, of the Times, know
of it few days beforehand. no one can
doubt but he will, in some manner find
accommodations for the crowd P.
