At an adjourned sitting held on the 6th of September, the President delivered the clear and unanimous opinion of the Court, that the defendants were not protected from arrests, for any cause that had been shown. He observed, that they had not been required by the Executi ve Council to attend them, but evidently came to Philadelphia on their own private business; and that it was the duty of the court, to be careful not to extend the doctrine of privilege to the injury of honest creditors.
The rule discharged.
See note to the next succeeding case.
