Seite 43 - Hitherto, no suspension of the writ has ever been authorized by congress, since the establishment of the Constitution. It would seem, as the power is given to congress to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, in cases of rebellion or invasion, that the right to judge 188 whether the exigency had arisen must exclusively belong to that body.
Seite 5 - The privilege and benefit of the writ of habeas corpus shall be enjoyed in this commonwealth, in the most free, easy, cheap, expeditious and ample manner; and shall not be suspended by the legislature, except upon the most urgent and pressing occasions, and for a limited time, not exceeding twelve months.
Seite 43 - If at any time the public safety should require the suspension of the powers vested by this act in the Courts of the United States, it is for the Legislature to say so.
