I he was authorized lo declare a county

secondwhich is the inain one -against
tnc position lanen on me part ot His
Excellency, to-wit: I declare the law to
.be, that the pmelege of the writ of
habeas corpus' was not suspended, and
that it was the duty of the Gorernbr to
adow the Prisoners to be delivered up
to the civil authorities for trial. This
prevented a trial by a military court;
and ous;bt to have been followed by an
mediate return of the bodies of the
prisoners. The motion of an attach
ment against -Col. Kirk was not allowed
because. he. had a reasonable excuse
ihe order of his commander in chief.
The motion for an ojder to the., sheriff
oi' &mie county to tke prisoners out of
tue .''".custody of Coljj Kirk was not al
lowed and an ordejr was made to the
Mai:hal to bring the prisoners before
mo, and he was instructed to exhibit
iU crder, togetheriwith a copy of the
oi'liiion to His Excellency.
.This was done - f or thei reason, that
uuder lue Uonstitution all of the pbys
ieal power of the state is vested in the
Executi ve, and the ji Judiciary has not
the power to call upon the f'tosse com-
itatus,"-es.pecially ofja county declared
