                    wered they knew no objection against that Gentn being of

                    very fair Character and Repute And believe him deserving

                    of his Excellenys favour therein Resolve that his Security

                    be one thousand pound Ster.

                     The Board happening to be very thin His Excellency was

                    pleased to desire the Advice of Mr Philemon Lloyd one of the

                    Iudges of the Provinciall Court upon an odd Accident in the

                    Case of Mr Thomas Macnemara & his wife.

                     After which was read Mr Cheif Justice Smithsons Letter to

                    his in Justification of bayling the said Macnemara.

                    Which being Communicated to the Lawyers present they

                    Offered the following Opinions, And first Mr Wornell Hunt.

             

                    May it please your Exncy

                     Having (according to Your Exncys Request) had some Con

                    sideration on the Case of Mrs Margtt Macnemara against

                    Thomas Macnemara her husband in Chancery before Yor

                    Exncy humbly on the four following Quer. observe to Yor Exncy

                    as followeth.

                     1st Whether a habeas Corpus on the 31st of Char 2d Capt:

                    ii  is to be granted or allowed in Civill as well as Criminall

                    cases and when and by whom a habeas Corpus at the Comon

                    Law and a habeas Corpus of the said Statute is to be granted

                    in order to the bayling of any person or persons.

                     2dIy Before whom such habeas Corpus are to be returned

                    who shall be Iudges of such returne and bayle the party or

                    remand him.

                    Extend to Civill causes

                     That an habeas Corpus on said Statute must be allowed in

                    Vacation as well as terme time and that under the penaltys
