Involving the Release of Two Hundred and
tiny PeDitrntiarY ConyictS.
IBy telegraph to the Dlspatch.l
NASHVILLE, February "a suit
involving the release of two hundred and
fifty conyicts from the penitentiary was
filed in the Charcery Court yesterday,
and subsequently moved to the Supreme
Court in order that an early decision
NAV be had and the question finally set
tled. Counsel for George Bingham, a
convict, filed a petition for a mandamus
to compel the warden ard lessees OF the
penitentiary to grant him good time I'M
der the law passed by the General As
sembly last year. One clause of the law
declares that the prisoners shall not be
carried out unless agreed to in writing
bv the lessees. Another clause pro-
yides that the law shall take effect
from and after its passage, while still
another says it shall not take effect
until the present lease expires. The
"cood time" allowed by law is two
months the first year, three months the
second year, and so on up to and in
GLIDING the tenth year. not only for the
years that elapse after the passage Of
the act, but also for the year pre-
yious. Should the law passed
last year be declared constltu-
tional by the Supreme Court many
ccnvicts will be Immediately set at
liberty. 1t is claimed by counsel for
f. II. johnson, another convict, whose
application for a writ OF habeas corpus
has been held under consideration by
Judge Reid, Of the Circuit Court, for
several weeks, that the mandamus-suit
brought yesterday is in the interest of
the lessees who wish a decision in the
johnson case deferred. Judge Reid,
upon learning of the suit instituted by
Bingham, decided to await the decision
of this case by the Supreme Court.
The point made by Johnson's attorneys
is that by the last clause Of the act it
became a law as soon as it was passed.

one years Imprisonment for robbing an
express messenger in Memphis, escaped
from prison, and, being recaptured,

ing for Morrison to get ready for them

The bill is not likely to get into the
