U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia · Decided July 15, 1810

2 D.C. 7; 30 F. Cas. 88; 2 Cranch 7

Opinion of the Court

The Court

refused to make such an order for the discharge of 'Mr. Wilson in this summary way, because if he has a right to depart the prison-bounds he is at liberty so to do ; if he has not, the order of the Court would not justify the marshal in discharging him. See Ex parte Wilson, 6 Cranch, 52.
