Opinion

The Court

(Thruston, J., absent,)

decided that it had jurisdiction to discharge upon habeas corpus, under its general power to issue the writ and to inquire into the cause of commitment; and examined Mr. Alexander, the justice of the peace, as to the time when the cause of the action accrued; but the Court, not being satisfied that the cause of action accrued before the discharge under the insolvent act, refused to discharge the prisoner.
