Extremely Fine Points of Law.

A singular question has just been decid-
ed by the Supreme Court of Connecticut,
that the bondsmen of criminal are not re-
leased from their obligation by his arrest
on another charge ina different State.
Two Danbury men gave $4,000 bonds for
an express robber named Mcclure, in 1864.
Soon after the man was imprisoned in
Maine for fifteen years for burglary. Claim
ing they were prevented from presenting
the person of the criminal for trial, only by
Z" an. act of law" the bondsmen refused to
pay, and the State brought suit to recover
the amount Of the forfeited bail.
The Supreme Court of Errors OF the
State held unanimously that as the States
are independent and sovereign, Connect
icut il not bound to heed the acts Of Maine.
The sureties, however, maintained that
McGuire was taken from, that State on a
3 requisition from the Governor of another
under provision Of the Federal Constitu-
tion, which was the supreme law of the
land. The Supreme Court Of the United
States was almost equally divided on the
question, the vote of Chief Justice Chase
being necessary to give the decision. The
State has accordingly recovered from Nc
Guire's bondsmen the IS, 900 with interest.
