jail  would  have  been  lawful,  if  the  debtor  had  beqn  in  under
State  process,  it  was  not  a  lawful  discharge  from  imprison-
ment under  process  of  a  Court  of  the  United  States.  That
Congress  had  not  adopted,  either  by  the  Process  Act  of  1792,
(1  Stat,  at  Large,  275,)  or  of  1828,  (4  Stat  at  Large,  278,)  any
State  laws  regulating  process,  which  can  be  executed  only  by
the  State  Courts;  and  that  so  far  as  a  State  law  is  adopted,  and
does  regulate  or  affect  the  process  of  the  Courts  of  the  United
States,  it  must  take  effect  upon  that  process,  through  the  action
of  the  Courts  of  the  United  States  themselves,  modifying  their
own  process,  or  controlling  its  operation,  so  as  to  render  it  con-
formable to  the  laws  of  the  State,  and  not  by  the  action  of
State  Courts  or  judges  upon  that  process,  or  upon  its  operation.
