yesterday, through the Chief Justice an
nounCed its approval Of the proceedings
IN the Territorial courts leading to their
conviction ana sentence and subsequent
refusal OF the supreme court of the Terri
tory to order their release upon a pc
lition for writ of habeas corpus.
Tire application for the writ was based
upon a technical point, that the judge who
conducted the trial, not being a resident
OF tie judicial district in which ii was
held, was not authorized TO sit therein,
and that the special term OF court was
Illegal.
The question Of jurisdiction of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States to en-
1ertan the appeal from the Territorial
court was raised by a motion TO dismiss
the appeal. The chef Justice, stating
that the Supreme Court Of the United
States had jurisdiction, announced that the
motion to dismiss would he denied, but
upon the record the Judgment Of the Ter
ritorial supreme court would be affirmed.
TIE decision and action Of the Supreme
Court in this case is taken by attorne vs.
