Opinion

The Court

told Mr. Taylor they would hear him further in support of the motion. The Court, on hearing, refused to lay a rule, being of opinion that a witness, residing more than one hundred miles from the place of trial, could not be compelled to attend ; and refused to issue a subpoena commanding the witness to appear before the mayor of Norfolk to testify. See Acts of Congress, September 24,1789, § 30, [1 Stat. at Large, 88]; and March 2, 1793, <§, 6, [1 Stat. at Large, 333.]
