Sir, Let the bearer trade thirteen dollars, twenty-five cents, and you will much oblige yours, &c« August 16, 1809. Samuel Layton.” Judgment being respited, the prisoner was now brought up on a habeas corpus, and a motion was made in arrest of judgment, on the ground that this was not an order for the delivery of goods, within the statute.
