People v. Wright, 2 Cai. Cas. 213, 1 Cole. & Cai. Cas. 390 (N.Y. Super. Ct. 1804).
Opinion
We cannot do it. We have no jurisdiction over offences committed in other states. The constitution points out a mode by which offenders, flying from one state into another, may be claimed. They must be demanded by the executive authority of the state from which they fled. The prisoners must be remanded.
Motion denied.
