case of State rs. Batchcldcr, from Sl2.
900 as fixed by the Court of Inquiry to
$4,000, which wa, done last Saturday
by Judge Iieddcn, suggests the qucs'
ton whether there il any rule in such
matters by which To determine the
amount Of bail that shall be required
The statute says the bail shall not be
"eXccssivc," but does not say what
amount should he considered excessive
There is this general rule laid down in
the books that il should he such sun
rs will secure The presence of the
respondent at the court for trial. Be-
yond this il seems to be left wholly IL
the Judgment of each particular court
in each particular case. Al the hearing
before Judge Hcddcm. last Saturday
Hon. +. II. Hard. Of Burlington
remarked that no two persons woulc
think alike rs TO the amount of bal
which would be necessary 10 secure :h6
presence of culpit for trial. And
such seems to he the case; for before
the reduction. many gentlemen of good
Judgment criticised the action of tho
court of inquiry in the cuse of State as
Batcheldcr. on the ground that tho
bonds were placed too low. They
claimed that they should, at least. have
exceeded the amount alleged TO have
been realized on the forged paper. On
the other hand. there are enough who
think the amount Of the bail MS fixed by
Judge lIcddcn is altogether more than
was necessary 10 answer the require,
ments of public justice. Now, who arc
right! This we cannot answer, but
can certainly find no fault with the
action of Judge IIcddcn. in fixing ii al
$4,000.
1t would moi seem 10 be inappropri,
ale, in this connection. 10 mention 4
few precedcnts which recur to mind
and which prove quite conclusivcly
that the difference Of opinion whicl
Mr.. Hard said must exist is realized in
actual experience. We will mention
only few, as follows:
In United States Is. Aaron Burr fol
treason, there were two indictments
one for the crime, which was not baila
BILE, and the other for misdoneanor
On the latter, Judge Marshall admitted
Burr to bail in The sum of $4,000.

In Commonwealth Of Massarhpseti
Us. Bigelow, At Boston, q few week
ago, in which the respondent wa
charged with embezzling trust funds Il
the amount OF about $50, 200, the cour
fixed the bail At 100000,
