U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia, 1837

United States v. Hastings

U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia · Decided April 21, 1837 · Thruston

26 F. Cas. 217; 5 Cranch 115; 1837 U.S. App. LEXIS 321

Opinion of the Court

THE COURT (THRUSTON, Circuit Judge, absent)

remitted the remaining part of the sentence of imprisonment, but not as to the costs.

THE COURT had previously (nem. con.) refused a new trial, having great doubt of their power to rescind the sentence after it was in part executed. CRANCH, Chief Judge, however, was inclined to the opinion that the court had the power to do so, and to grant a new trial.
