judgment Of many able lawyers. The Gassnc OF

projectors anticipated. The decision Of the Court
Of Appeals referred 20 was based upon the clause
of che act of Assembly Of 1850. providing that
judges should only have power TO issue writs Of
habeas corpus inside Of their judicial circuits. -
Judge Iclott, In his decision on Friday last when
he released four prisoners from the institution.
