Supreme Court of Vermont

Decided January 15, 1803

Supreme Court of Vermont · decided 1803-01-15

AT the last term, the Grand Jury presented an indictment against William Bryant, billa vera. A capias issued, and he was apprehended and gave bail, with sureties for his personal appearance at this term.

Decided 1803-01-15

Sed per Curiam.

¶1The return is satisfactory to the Court. If the prisoner be dangerously sick, it is a sufficient reason why he should not have been removed ; but a return of this nature, it is expected, will in future be accompanied with affidavits of physicians, that the Court may judge whether the bodily indisposition of the prisoner be so great as to justify the sheriff in his disobedience to the writ.

¶2The State Attorney now renewed his motion to estreat the bonds.

William C. Harrington, For the State.Elnathan Keyes, for the sureties.

¶3Sed per Curiam,. Let the cause be continued until the next term; and in the interim the bail may have a new writ to bring the prisoner into Court.
