RocKLAND, March 17.-At the hearing on
the Wagner case this morning, Mr. Yeaton re-
sumed his argument, taking up the points of
his opponent in reverse order, first considering
the point made that the Governor and Council
which issued the warrant was not the same
body which reviewed the case. Is this duty OF
reviewing mere personal function of the GOV
ernor, which expires with him? We are told
that the king never dies. Is it any less true
with us that executive authority never ceases
to exist? But this not only answers. There
were two warrants issued and one bears date
in 1874. Do they claim that the second super
cedes the first or that the first makes void the
second? We claim both valid and either made
it obligatory on the sheriff to perform the duty
required by law.
The second point taken up was that the law
of the last Legislature is recognition that the
fixing of the time of execution is judicial act
and consequently should be a part of the SEN
tence. The language of the law does not war
rant this construction. 1t simply says that the
sentence shall be executed at such time as the
court shall determine. The same reasoning
that would require the court to fix the date and
make it part of the sentence would also require
the court to include in the sentence provision
that the sheriff should perform the execution
and that it should take pace in presence OF
twelve witnesses, required by law. He
quoted authorities to show that fixing the time
is not a judicial act, but that no strict line can
be drawn to divide executive from judicial du-
ties. The power of the executive to grant a
reprieve is unquestioned. The effect OF re-
prieye is to fix a new date of execution. 1t to
appoint the date in the first instance is judi
cial act is not this judicial act? Can the
Governor do incidentally what he could not do
originally?
1t is a sufficient answer to the argument that
it is the duty of the court to fix the date of ex
ecution by the common law, under the statute
of George IL, to say that the statute is not
part of the common law of this land. The
statutes of England, passed prior to the settle
ment of this country, and judicial decisions
prior to the Revolution, only form part of the
common law of America. He quoted English
authority to prove that it has been held not
only not to be the duty of the court to fix the
date, but by high authority that it should Io'
fix it, and highest American authorities that it
is not the duty of the court to fix the time and
place, excepting where legislation made it sol
and concluded by appealing to the court not to
subvert justice by action not only irregular but
absolutely without precedent
Mr.. Yeaton's argument is considered by the
members of the bar as very able statement
of the principles at ISSUE
Judge Tapley replied at length, the most i'm
portant point being that the case was brought
in court of equity because habeas corpus would
ha w
dy of the sheriff on the day of execution, and
then only for an hour.
Judge Virgin reserved his decision for the
present. The case will be taken up and decls-
ion given Monday.
