the full benefit of their judgment and ex ecution if the Marshall had duly returned the first writ of ca s, and the counsel had appeared for the Uni ee1 States, and moved the commitment. But having neglected their rights on that eccasion. they are

An objection was made in behalf of
the United ttafes that this rules applie
to civil cases, and that the present being
a criminal case was not within the rule. The court ruled, that the proces which

fine, is founded upon the law and practice of Maryland adopted to the district. That law, in granting such writs fer the recovery of fines, requires " sueh procee
ding should he had thereon, as in cases
when similar writs are issued on judf tnents obtained in personal suits." The United States, therefore, proceed civilly
in the recovery of fines, by tke express
grants. The Supreme Court decided en the application for the habeas c&rpus that the United States are bound, by the Ma ryland practice, to proeeed civilitcr
