This petitioner having been brought before a justice of this court on habeas corpus, the questions presented have been adjourned into the full court for decision, conformably to the provisions of the statute. ■ It appears by the return, that the petitioner was arrested by virtue of a warrant issued by the governor, as a fugitive from the justice of the state of Maine, charged with the crime of larceny, to be delivered to the agent of Maine appointed by the governor of that state to receive her. Several questions are presented respecting the validity of the proceedings.
