Judge Woodbury listened fur- ther to Dana and Sumner, his counsel, till aluost nine “o'clock P. M. He then remarked that two grounds seemed to be re- Hed on—one was the badness of the warrant which had | been issued against Simms for ua ssaault on Butman, | when serving another process; snd tho other was the Megal delay by the Marshal in net haying Simms cartier examined by the Commissioner 0% that warrant He agreed with the other Judges ia this city, that where all the facts and documents were before them, ne- cessury to a correct decision on the discharge of the pri- Foner, they might be examined aud the writ not issued, | if pothing could result from it but deluy and expense or | embarrassment to other proceedings. i Yet if some facts were wanting. w* here, for example, what other had been served by the Murshal on | which also with this warrant he held Simms, and whether | it was still in the course of being executed £0 as to ex- cuse this for not carrying Simms before a Commissioner on this, it furnished a good reason to issue the habeas | corpus wt once, in order that the Marshal might return these facts, Ho could now decide on the validity of the warrant on its face; the first poiut, as a copy of it was now before him; but’ he could nut decide on the seeond Yoint without further ce what other process waa in the hands of the Marshal against the pri- soner, and how it operated, if at all, on the delay. He did not differ from the other judges in this city ma- t ov principle, though this case in some respects stood differently the facts bef re then where real doubt existed, whether th® Marshal ought not to be required to return more facts, he felt bouud to incline in fayor of liberty. ‘The writ must issue. In about an hour the prisoner was brought into the court room, and the return made on the writ, which has before been described. B. Kt. Curtis, counsel for the Marshal, after reading the return, observed, that the Marshal would now leave the ‘case with the court, he having no interest in ch» flnal de- cision, except that it should be legal. lle would merely add that by the Mussachusetts statute, those who might be interested in the result were to be notified. Dana, of counsel for Simms, wished thix might be done, ‘and the case delayed; but Woodbury, Justice, remarked that he was acting under the acts of Congress, and not the State of Massachusetts, and should not delay the | hearing for this, unless in the further progress of it, something should appear rendering it fit and reasonable, He further said, that the case was taken up on Fast Day—a sort of New England Sabbath, to oblige or ac- commodate the prisoner and his counsel, who considered it so urgent, and was examined thus late, in order to dis- “pose of it to-night, and without interferingunnecessarily | ‘with other proceedings. The counsel, however, moved for delny till Saturday, insisting that it was a mistake to suppose they had in- tended to close the business to-night. and the Judge con- sented to ullow further time. if anything new was dis- closet in the return, or any surprise caused by its con- ents, Sumner said—nothing of this kind could be specified; but still further time was earnestly asked, to examine the return, and to call in witnesses to certain facts deemed material. ‘The Judge said he would grant delay, though be feared, ‘at much itconvenience to the public business in the Circuit Court, and contrary to what he supposed was the arrangement when coming here—yet it was right, if more | time was really wanted by the prisoner and his counsel it, and one, which by itself. raised » ion fraud in the Marshal. And, if theve failed he tmoted thee the Judge himself now hear und examine the criminal urge against Simms,or, if declining that, admit him to bail uy pon it Judge Woodbury inquired if anything more was do- sired On either side to ba sald in roapest to the habeas conpus. reply that there was not fhe proceeded to at roper to say, that before mo it not an application to discharge from custody of the Marshal, the r Siuns, a8 a fugitive slave, but the petition for the habeas corpus is confined exclusively to tie alloga- tion of his being held. by a criminal warrant, and which issued on a complaint for an assault on an officer of tho United States while executing loenl process, and it asks merely that he may be discharged from custody s0 far as held under that warrant. ‘Tho writ of habeas corpus, by which he has been brought fure me, is also confined specially to the samo inquiry. re stems, then, on such a collateral question of law, little occasion for so vast a crowd of any h lic excitement, The first objection ia to the legulity of the warrant on its face. But every professional man knows the difforence between what is required in such « warrant—inerely like niesne process to bring the party before ® imagistrate for examination, and a final warrant of commitment in exe- cution ofa sentence—or & warrant to search the premises of a suspected person, ‘The cares cited, whore warrants are bad on their face, are all of this last character, and not of the kind like this. They are, too, for defects not existing even in this—such as the want of an cath—whon an oath to this appears— or, as in Cranch, the want of any offence for the commit- ment described at all, whereas hore it is alleged to bo the offence of obstructing the complainant in the service of a legal precept—or ns in the caso from the Massachusetts Keports, not setting out carefully the promises to be searched, and the nae of the owner or person suspected, when here the respondent is accurately deseribed. But besides this, the present warrant, after stating what bas been suggested, is fuller than most precepts, is- sued merely for an arrest—and much fuller than the ‘old. writ for an insulated trespass in all cases to get parties into the King’s bench—and then declaro against them and try them on some contract, or other cause of action For the trial or hearing is on the declaration or com- pl ist, here as well as in England, and mot on the writ And the warrant to arrest is merely to bring the party in, and then to exercise jurisdiction and decide on the com- plaint or not, a8 that ‘may be suflicient. Here, in the warrant itself, the respondent is referred to what “is more fully set forth in” the complaint, as the cause for which be is to be arrested and tried, And in the roturn of the Marsal a copy of the compinint is in- cluded, and is conceded to contain every allegation ne- cessary to give jurisdiction to the Commissioner and jus- tify the arrest, The question on this first objection likewise is not one between the complainants, Batman and Simms, or ¢1- ther of them and the commissioner, but whethor the Marshal, anexecutive officer, is not justified in making fan arrest, as required in the precept on this warraat. It seems to me, clearly, that he was, There is no pretence of want of snfficiont cause for such an arrest. The offence stated to have been actu- ly committed is conceded to have occurred, and a Mr. List, said tobe one of the prisoner's counsel, is repre- sented in the argument for him, to have made a ecom- plaint, that it wax still a higher crime, viz: an assault With intent to kill, and for which he {s stated to have obtained another warrant from the State authorities, But that it was committed rather against the United | States’ authoritics and the Union, andshould be investi- gated by her Commissioner, and the offender arrested by her Marshal, is manifest from the fact, that it was com- mitted on anofficer, or an assistant to one, acting under for preparation, to indulge them, If anything more, | her laws, while executing one of her precepts and in or- however, can be done before the postponement, it had | better be suggested. Dana then moved, that the Marshal be required to ‘state more fully and specif ally his reasons for delay in having the prisoner x uined under the warrant for assault on the officer. Judge Woodbury observed. that if the Marshal chose to rely on his return as it was, without moving on his own behalf, for any leave to amend. ho should not inter- fere, unless it appeared on further examination, that sufficient was not stated to enable him to dispose of the ease ber ey mee ‘The further hearing was postponed till 3 o'clock, P. M. the next day. When that time arrived, Mr. |, a# counsel for Simms, moved the court to ‘appoint @ person to serve a writ de homine replegiando— isvuing against the Marshal for Simms—and urged it as juin immediate attention. ‘Judge Woodbury advised delay till the writ of habeas corpus was disposed of. Seth Thomas, Eaq. then objected to Mr. Sewall acting in this new case as counsel for the prisoner—the com- missioner having decided this forenoon that Simms was a slave, and having given a certificate and order to send him to Georgia, whence he escaped. He was now under the control and advice of his master and agent, for whom ‘Thomas, and not Sewall, was counsel. der to carry into effect « provision of her constitution and acts of Congress. ‘That constitution and these laws must be maintained against ull violence, or the United States must cease to exist as a government. (Applause, but promptly checked by the officers.) They must be maintained, too, rather by precepts, like this issued by the public officers of the United States, and by the request of their prosecuting officer, than by a complaint and warrant, made before 4 State magistrate by one of the prisoner's own counsel against his own client—a new kind of professional service, and whether on public or private motives can better be inquired hereafter, when that conduct may be brought in qnestion for other purposes. is assault on au United States officer to obstruct him in serving the process of the United States, and issued as to a subject within the cognizance of the United States, ‘was made penal by a United States law, passed the very first year after the United States government went into operation ; and Judge Washington, in the Circuit Court, had held it to be a most important provision to the exe- cution of all laws of the United States. And without enforcing which, the administration of justice under the United Btates constitution was likely to be utterly prostrated. Why any one of the prisoner's counsel should inter- fere and endeavor to turn it into an offence against the The Marchal then bad read au additional return, set- ting out this certificate and decision of the Commis- stoner to-day. Ww. said that these papers must decide ‘the it, that Mr. Thomas now had the better right to appear in behalf of the mester and Simms—unieas Mr. Sewall ted to the constitutionality of the laws under which the Commissioner had acted. If he did. an. opportunity would be given to be heard on that point, and it then be decided. Mr. Sewnll did not wish to go into that argument now on this motion ; and the Judge then said the laws muct be presumed constitutional till the contrary was shown or adjudged—and, consequently, Mr. Thomas had now a right to act on this motion as to the writ de homine rather than Mr, Sewall, But let all take notice, that it did not follow, because Simms was a slave and had a master,that he possessed uo rights—or that he might not have a right to proper food, clothing and shelter—to have « wife and + hildren, and religious instruction, aod be protected from improper abuse of them or himself, whether by his mas- tor or others, Slaves have rights on many subjects in the greates. slave States—and are often allowed to try them by writs and courts. And while here expecially, «3 well as there, it would be scrutinized closely, that no op- pression or maltreatment was practised on the prisoner; ‘nd if he really had good grounds for such a writ—no doubt it would and could be issued and served. But it does not answer to say as a reason for it, as coun- sel have urged, that no slavery exists or can exist in Massachusetts, That is true ouly under her present State laws. For under the United States laws and constitution slavery constitutes a part of the representation in the House of Representatives and the number of electors of President—and the foundation for direct taxation—and when siaves cxcape to such States ax Massachusetts from other States, still allowing the institution, as these do, they are still slaves both by the constitution and the acts of Congress. ‘This was due of the compromises for the v nion, (Mr, Sewall rose and was understood to say that he re- ferred to Massachusetts alone.) Alone! Thank God, Massachusetts yet forms a part of the Union. (Great applause which was not suffered.) May rhe long enjoy its benefits, and long belp to enforce its mutual and fraternal obligations, We live under two governments, and owe allegiance to both, as well as de- rive inealoulable blessings to both. ‘And so far as regards his official duties, connected with one of these, he should uphold it, or perish in the at- tempt. (Applause again ) Mr, Stimner then m that an attachment issue against (he Marshal for not returning more xpeeifleally the date and cause of the arrest and detention of Simm, ‘The Judge observed, he supposed this motion was made to ascertain his views as to what must be the construc- tion of the return, concerning these as it now stands, before arguing the question of the discharge, He was i . saying he received ved it, he must be pre- sumed to have reevived and served it on the day of ite date. He should hold the Marshal to that, ard if he did not mena to be so wnderstood, he might ask leave to amend, This would give also to the prisoner the benefit of the jongest time of detention, in order to inculpate the Marehal most as to the cause of detention, which is the other ground of the motion for an attachment.

State, aud punish their own client for it there, when the injured party and the prosecuting officers have not gone there, looks extraordinary, and does not seem entitled to any special encouragement by the authorities of the United States. ‘The prisoner has a claim to sympathy for thus being harrassed by two prosecutions for the same asvault, a indeed for the offence itself, more than others, if, in his ignorance, others have excitedPhim to it by exhortations to murder the public officers when attempting to arrest and return fugitives to their masters, in conformity to the public laws. (Much sensation in the sudience) The second ground for claiming a discharge of the prisoner, was the delay in taking him before the Com- missioner to be examined ou this oriminal complaint, and the exceptionable facts connected with it. The usual course in criminal proceodings waa to have an examination follow speedily on arrest, and an unneeessary and injurious delay was consurable. Tut that could seldom render the warrant invalid, or entitle the prisoner to an absolute discharge, though it might properly expose the officers who did it to a civil action at times, or cause an indictment, In the case cited from Barnwell and Cresswell, tha prisoner was not discharged from the cruminal arrest. Mr. Sumner said he did not mean to contend that the warrant thus became invalid, but that by this and other facts the arrest would be, ‘The Judge replied, if the warrant still remained in full force, how could the arrest be valid. It was made in the proper form, there had been no escape rince—it was for an offence admitted to have been committed, and the fact of more delay, if illegal, wax to be punished collate. rally, and no case was cited showing that it alone aullitied the arrest On the contrary, the whole ground of principle, on which it could be held illegal, failed on the facts set out in this return, When adjudged illegal, it generall: been because the prisoner was thus deprived of his li- berty for several days, if held by caly thas one warrant. But here the return shows an earlier arrest by another process, and a detention under it up to the present time —he had not been imprisoned or Tetained & single hour by this alone, There wns by it, therefore, no iinprison- ment or injury. In the cases cited, however, he was held in confinement by the warrant alone, which was complained of, and thus was injured and imprisoned by it unnecessarily long, That could not be justitied. Every case but one in Cowan was of this char ak there one of two precepts was considered null and adjudged bad, but the other continued good and he was not dis- charged, Now, was the marshal underjthese and the othor facts excusable for this delay! The design in issuing the writ was to have before him officially the reason for it—as it might be justifiable by sickness of the prisoner, magia trate or miarshal—or by the wish of the prosecutor and assent of the accused to delay—or the pendency of other rior legal proceedings. It turned out to have been the tter; and considering the menaces uttered of violenco— considering the array of force and arms around and near us to prevent aresene of the prisoner—it furnishes an unusual and weighty reason not to expose him abrond— from office to office, and from one kind of ex- 8 another inent danger of escape, till the public one was completed, and till it could be done with sa The more expecially was this prudent when not thereby causing the prisoner's deteution, but a prior precept doing that. But it ix strenuously urged, that this being a criminal warrant should, at ail risks, have beea examined before the other, which i« supposed to be only a civil proceed- ing. Without enquiring now, whether that be merely civil in character—this {s not the case of the Marshal having both precepts at once and then serving tho civil one first, Such a course might not always be proper.

I had se- veral conferences with the Sheriff and with Mr, Coburn, and suid to the lattor that if the United States Marshal had a criminal process against Simms, and was executing it in « bona fide manner, it would hold him; but that if it minal process ‘was « trick to shield him from u criminal process of Mas- sachusetts, it would not hold. I said to him that it would not allow him to hold him more than a reasonable time, either for examination or acquittal. Ladvised him that the civil process was 00 bar from carrying him immediately before a commissioner for examinatfon; but, on the contrary, he should carry him the sooner, lest the man should be carried away from the State by the civil proves, I told him how’ to proceed. Yesterday afternoon I went to the Sheriff, and advised him to petition Judge Wood- bury for a mandamus to take the prisoner before the couimissioner on the criminal charge. I told him that unless he did #0, he would not fulfil his duty. ‘The law of 1843, for the protection of personal liberty. has been violated in several instances to my knowledge, and in the court held by Commissioner Hallet; Constables Jones, Sawin, aud other officers, testified that they had been employed by the Marshal to detain Shadrach, a fu- gitive; I went before the Grand Jury and made complaint to that effect; one of the jury said to Mr. Dana that they had no doubt that the law of 1845 was violated, but they did not find any bills against the officers; Mr. Neal, a constable, also testified that he had been employed by the Marebal; watchmen were employed in the same case, and watchmen are constables in everything but the power to serve writs.
