Ex parte Bill

Decided May 15, 1827

Habeas Corpus. Upon the return it appeared that Mr. Bill had been committed in execution upon a ca. sa., and had taken the benefit of the prison bounds, upon giving the bond and security required by law, more than a year ago.

Decided 1827-05-15

¶1The Court (nem. con.) refused to discharge him, being of opinion that it was not a new arrest; but was analogous to the case of the bail taking his principal, which is said to be an exception to the general rule. See 3 Starkie on Ev. Part 4, pages 1726, 1727.

¶2The prisoner was remanded.
