New York Supreme Court May 9, 1860 (People v. Budge)

Bacon, J.,

reviewed briefly the arguments of the counsel, and the powers of Justices of the Supreme Court upon habeas corpus—that great writ of freedom, which was designed to protect the liberty of the citizen. He also alluded to the 58th section of the habeas corpus act, which had not been alluded to by the counsel.
