1884, was arrested here about the LIST ultimO on Q

Tennessee to receive the judgment and sentence
OF the court" petition for writ OF habeas cor.
pus was nled, and the case was argued at some
length by Mr.. Jen Chandler, for the petitioner,
and District Attorney Hoge, for the Govern.
ment The petitioner raised the points that

to such a case, but refers solely to cases
where no trial had been had; that the Tennessee
court by its failure 10 sentence at the term during
the statute under which the Indictment was found
had been repealed. ON the first point Judge Mont
gomery says defendant has the right to be ad-
been indicted for trial. and asks: Could the defen.
dant be tried In the Tennessee court? The deflni-
lions OF trial are given, and the Judge says: II
cannot resist the conclusion that the trial In
Tennessee has been had and ended, and that Com.
