In obedience to a writ of flattens Corpus
jnnieil liy your Imnoron the Dili day of July,
in the year eighteen hundred and thirty, upon
(ho petition of one Hczekiah K. Foote, direct
ed In these respondents, Isaac N. Johnson
,and F.lbridge G. Adams, commanding, and
requiring them to bring before your Honor, the
body of Julian Foote, alias Julian Adams,
claimed as the wife of the said Hezekiah R.
on the second day of August next, at your
office in the town of Athens, together with the
true cause of her caption and detention,-These
respondents respectfully return, that they have
before your honor the body of the said Julian,
and hrg leave particularly to stale the causes
of her being in their custody, with all the cir-
< umstam-ea therewith connected. They there
fore return, that the said Julian is the infant
daughter of one John Adam9, late of said
countv of Dekalb, deceased, and the sister of
one of these respondents, to wit : E. G
Adams, and that according to the family re.
.-o-.r ol'agns kept by the said John Adams
. „) horn on the firth dav of March, in the
year eighteen hundred and twenty; making
her at tin's lime a little more than ten years of
,.ge. That the said John Adams, departed
ill is life in the month of August, in thu year
••ighfeen hundred and twenty-nine, leaving a
oosidcrahle estate undisposed of by wit), and
without (ho appointment of a Guardian for his
children. That Lois Adams, the mother of
the said Julian, now by n late intermarriage
villi one Stephen Simmons,Lois Simmons, ns-
mimed the care and guardianahip of the said
Julian. That immediately after the decease
of the said John Adams, the said Hczekiah R
who had but lately come to (he village of De
catur in the rapacity of a l.aw-student, com
menced devoting his time And attention to the
mother of the said Julian, and her children,
.vs those respondents verily believe and so re
•urn, of so far ingratiating himself into her fa
vour as to procure tho management of her own,
mid the said children’s estate. That the said
Lois, at the time of the decease of her hus
band was in an extremely low state of health,
supposed to be labouring under a consumption,
which connected with other causes, rendered
lu-r the more easily the subject of imposition.
That the said Hczekiah R. taking advantage
of the situation of the aaid Lois, and for the
purpose of accomplishing more fully, his base
and dishonorable designs, represented to hdr
in fulse colors, her helpless and unprotected
situation, and induced her to believo that all
thine who pretended friendship, and who were
prepared to extend to her that aid and assis-
•nnee, which a widow in her situation needed,
worn enemies in disguise, and sought only to
enrich themselves nt her expense; nnd that he,
tho said Hezekiah R. was her only true nnd
best friend, nnd deserved to act as hor guide
and protector. That he alone, although
stranger, possessed the requisite qualifica
tions and honesty for the management of her
estate, and (he saving it from unnecessary
oxpenso, &c. And the said E. G. Adams,
<>no of the respondents, individually returns,
that he himself being young nnd inexperienced,
was nt first deceived in some mcasnro by the
fal-io end specious pretensions of the snid
Tfezi-kiah R. and led to view his professions
of friendship to his mother and family in some-
what nn honorable light. But when the mo.
*iv -s oftho said Hczekiah R. became too ob
viously perceptible to he mistaken, nnd when
from his general misconduct, he had acquired
the hatred and contempt of a largo majority of
those to whom ho had become known, this
respondent being tho eldest child of the said
Luis, conceived it his duty to undeceive her as
to his motives, and if possible to prohibit his
further visits and attention In pursuance of
this sense ofdnty, he made tho effort, in eon-
m-u- cure of which, so effectually had the aaid
Hozekiah R. practised hi* impositions upon
*!"- Naid Lois, and so greatly had ho ingratia
ted himselfinto her favor, that he was enabled
to sever the ties which bound tho mother to
the son. Finding it necessary to destroy the
influence of this respondent, or have his views
thwarted, he hesitated not to resort to surh
measures as were best calculated to effect his
purpose ; and at length succeeded in causing
respondent’s mother to discard him as one too,
who sought her ruin, and to throw herself and
family almost exclusively upon the guidance
and protection nfhini.tho aaid Hczekiah R. And
this respondent further returns, that the said
Hczekiah R. having thus succeeded in de
stroying the influence of the only relative ca
pable of affording any protection, (the family
being from the atate of Massachusetts, and
having no relations in the Southern Slates;)
and having failed in the effort to give the re
quisite security to procure the management of
the estate of the said John Adams, which this
respondent verily believes to have been his
first, principal and only object, being yet unwil
ling to vield until every effort, however dis
honorable, had been used; he further prosecu
ted his designs by convincing the said Lois,
that the best right which he could ecquire to
act as the friend and protector of the family,
was to marry thesaid Julian, then sn infant of the
age of ten years, one month, and aeventsen
days, and so much an infant in size, that her
weight was only about fifty pounds. And these
respondents further jointly return as addi
tional evidence (if additional evidence than the
protest of the infant herself were required) of
the dishonorable intentions of the aaid Heze-
kiah R. that all the negotiations so far as these
respondents know or believe upon the aubject
of the marriage of the said Julian, were car-
jto the cuid Lois and Hezekiah It. and that the
Naid Julian had no opportunity of nsking the
aid or counsel of any other friend. These re-
pondents admit that it is true there were re
ports in circulation, that the said Hezekiah R.
wns nnving his addresses to the said Julian,
hut believing from the repeated declarations of
the said Julian, nnd from numerous other cir
cumstances, that he was in the highest de
gree hateful and unacceptable to her even ns
common acquaintance, nnd not believing
that anv man, however base and degraded in
principle and feeling, would so fat disgrace
the human charaetc.-r.and so irrevocably subject
himself to the contempt and scorn of all the
honorable portion of the community, would
marry and take to his bed fiom motives of pe
cuniary advantages, and through the influence
of a misguided mother, an unprotected orphan
if the age and size of the said Julian, viewed
the said reports ns having no foundation.
And these respondents further believe, and so
return, that from the best information they
have been enabled to obtain, the marriage con
tract between the said Hezekiah and the said
the said Julian, and prayed the immediate ap
pointment of a guardian for her relief. Where
upon the said Court of Ordinary appointed
one Daniel Stone, granting him temporary let
ters of guardiansh'Pi u P on being qualified
us guardian in terms of the law, made imme
diate application to the Justices of the Inferi
or Court of said county, for a writ of Habeas
Corpus, which vas granted by the said Justi
ces, directed to the said Lois and Hezekiah
R. commanding and requiring them to bring
bnfure them, the said Justices, the said Julian,
widi the cause, or causes of her detention from
her said guardian. Towhieh writ the said Lois,
and the said Ilezokiah R. jointly returned, that
she.'.he said Lois, held and detained the snid Ju
lian in custody as her mother, having the right of
natural guardianship; and that he, the said
Hezekiah R. held and detained the said Juli
an as Ins lawful wife. And upon having the
said returns, the said Court deemed them insuf
ficient; because that the said Julian could not
tic detained in hotli capacities; and if in the
c-is'ody of her mother, as her natural guar-
lior unnatural and unparalellod conduct
Julian, was entered into between the said lle-i in i _ing, or even consenting to tho marriage
kiah R. and the snid Lois, little or no regard jm m infant of the age and size of the said Je-
having been had to the consent and approbation 1 ban, clearly evidenced that she was incompe-
of the said Julian, even had she been capable tent to the discharge of the duties of guardian,
of giving such consent. And that it was sti- and authorized and required the appointment
pointed between the said Lois mid Hezekiah I of some person competent to tho faithful dis
R. that the marriage cercinonv simply was to charge of said duties.—And if in the custody
be performed; but that the said Hezekiah R- of the said Hezekiah R. as hi9 wife, the said
was not to lake the said Julian to his bed nr
require of her any oftho d dies of a wife until
she should have arrived nt tha age of discrc
(ton and womanhood. That after such agree
ment and stipulations, through the influence
nnd persuasions of the said Lois, and hy the
said Hezekiah R. promising the said Julian
carriages, fine houses, ponies, jewelry nnd
such things as would naturally attract the at
tention of a child such as she was, a reluc
tant consent was obtained from her, to the
performance of the ceremony nt some future
period; but these respondents are informed and
believe, that such consent was aftortvards re
traded. In confirmation of this opinion, the
said Julian on being asked, to use her own
Inngunge, why she was at one time n “ little
willing” to marry the said Hezekiah R
plied “ because Ma had no body to help hor."
Those respondents verily believe and no re
turn, that the said Julian was incapable of
judging for herself, and not having the oppor
tunity of nsking the aid and advice of any
friend who would have rescued her from those
who were prepared to sacrifice her. nnd that
she. having the most implicit confidence in a
mother who Imd. until she became the dupe o
the dark design* of the said Hezekiah R. de
servedly obtained her love and obedience, was
prepared to do any act which she thought
would contribute to the happiness and content
ofsnid Lois. And that if she, the said JutiaD,
ever did give nny consent to the said marriage,
that this, together with the specious promises
of fortune, toys, &c. made her by the said
Hezekiah R. were the only tnotivos which in
duced it.
These respondents further believe, and so
return, that on the night of the twenty-first of
April last, nrter the said Julian had retired
to rest, the said Hczekiah R. and the said
Lois agreed, without consulting the said Ju
lian, that the marriage ceremony was to be
performed on the evening of the twenty-third.
That on the twenty-second, the said Hez6ki
ah R. made application to the Clerk of the
Court of Ordinary for marriage license—nnd
that in order to dpcoive and induce him to si
lenr* nnd secrecy until his purpose could he
fully accomplished, as well as to indulge in
his innnto propensity for misrepresentation,
represented to the said Clerk, that the said
Julian was about the age of twelve years.—
And that on the evening of the twenty-third,
the aaid Hezekiah R. with one George Clifton
F.sq. attended for the purpose of entering into
the said marriage; when somuch averse was the
said Julian that she objected, concealed herself
and refused to make the requisite prepara
tions. That the said Lois dressed her, and
when she entered the rnnm, she the snid Juli
an distinctly told the snid Clifton and Foote,
that she did not wish to marry—and that bv
the joint persuasions and entrenty of tha said
Clifton, Foote, and Lois, she was nt length
and at about the hour of 10 o’clock at night
married sitting in her chair, immediately after
which she retired to sleep, refusing to notice
the said Hezekiah R. or to recognize him as
a husband. These respondents further return,
that sn secretly was this matter conducted,
that so far as they know or believe, it was
known only to those concerned until the sue-
ceeding day, and the snid E. G. Adams indi
vidually returns, that though through the im
proper influence of the said Hezekiah R. he
had been discarded by his mother, and virtual
ly forbidden her house, on hearing of the
said marriage, and believing from the previous
and repeated declarations of the said Juli
an, that she must have been improperly influ
enred, and that she was still averse to it,—
and learning from various sources on which
reliance could be placed, that she was oppo
sed to living with the said Hezekiah R. and
desired to be released,—and learning too that
the said Hezekiah R. hnd taken the said Juli
an to his bed as a wife, in violation of the
agreement between the said Lois and himself,
which agreement had been used as an induce
ment to the said marriage,—nnd learning too
that the said Julian had been heard to entrant
permission to leave his bed,—his feelings as
a man, willing to protect the innocent and un
protected, separate and apart from his feel-
ings as a brother, would have prompted him
to attempt her rescue. In this effort this re
spondent further returns, that he was warmly
seconded bv a whole community who knew
the parties, and who were measurably ac-
quainted with all the circumstances. This
respondent therefore, so soon as practicable,
assembled the Court of Ordinary of said coun
ty of DeKsIb, to which by petition, supported
Court determined that she could not, because
of her non-age and want of discretion, legally
he thu wife of any man; nnd that even had
she have given hor full and free consent, that
she was incapable of doing so, and that either
party at, or before the time she should arrive
at the age of consent, would have the right of
rescinding tho said contract. The said Court,
however, from facts before them, believed that
if any consent had been given, it was obtained
by undue means, and that the said Julian was
then unwilling to remain with tho said Hezeki
ah It. and thereupon ordered and directed,
that she should be placed in the care and cus
tody of the said Daniel Stone, guardian as
aforesaid.
And these respondents further jointly state,
that at tho May term succeeding of the Court
of Ordinary of aaid county, letters of guardi
anship were regularly granted to the said
Isaac N. Johnson, and he qualified in terms
oftho law, and that in the capacity of guardi
an appointed by the proper tribunal, he has
now the chnrge of the said Julian—that she
has fled from unnecessary and illegal restraint*
—and that ever since she was first relieved
from the control of the said Lois and Hezeki
ah R. and as these respondents verily believe
before such relief, she had expressed her de
cided aversion to said marriage, and her un
qualified determination never to live with the
said Hezekiah R. as a husband. That so
great has been her dislike to him, that she has
even refused to speak to him. And although
still maintaining the affection of a child for her
mother, and anxious to live with her, ahe has
on all occasions declared that she would not
do so unless the visits of the said Hezekiah
R- were prohibited. And though ahe haa ne
ver been denied the privilege of visiting her
mother—and even whan occasionally asked
to do ao she has objected, alledging as her
reason the fear of meeting at her mother’s
house the said Hezekiah R. these respon
dents further return by way of allowing that it
was the property, and not tho person of the
said Julian that was desired by the aaid Heze-
kiali R. that he has lately served upon Daniel
Stone, administrator upon the estate of John
Adams, deceased, a notice to retain in his
hands all tho funds of the estate of John
Adams, deceased, or so much thereof, as may
belong to the said Julian, and not to pay over
any part thereof to one of the respondents,
Isaac N. Johnson, as her guardian. These re
spondents beg leave to add in support of cer
tain parts of tho foragoing return, the subjoin
ed affidavits, and pray that they may be taken
and coundcnaed as a part of their return.
They beg leave further to add in conclusion,
that had the si.id Julian ever manifested a de
sire or willingness to live with the said Heze
kiah R. as a husband, however conscious they
might have been of the base motives of
his conduct, and however painful it might
have been to have sacrificed the said Julian
that the said Hezekiah R. might enjoy htr
property—yet they would have yielded to her
wishes. But they would confidently trust that
so long as the aaid Julian remains unwilling to
the said marriage, and continues to express
herutter abhorrence and detestation oftho said
Hezekiah R. she will not be compelled to live
with him as a husband, and that her property
will not be placed at his disposal.

with that free will which the law implies in
that option which haa just been mentioned.
If the contract which has been entered into,
may be avoided, it is, as the law declares it,
incohate and imperfect, and therefore conveys
no perfect rights; it must be sanctioned at the
proper age, and each party loses no right to
personal liberty by reason of such contract.
The object of the Habeas Corpus act is to
relieve all persons illegally restrained of their
freedom; it is not intended to settle any other
persons rights but those of the individual who
is improperly detained, and these rights relate
entirely to his personal liberty, for (he act de
clares by its title it is “ for the better securing
the liberty of the subject.” No construction of
it has even gone the length of determining any
private rights between the person imprisoned
or any ona else, or between other persons con
nected with the transaction- The sole ques
tion for the Court is, whether the person de
tained is wrongfully restrained of his liberty,
and not to take them from one imprisonment
and place them in another, which would be
the case if the Court should attempt to say
who has the right to the person confined
where that person is of proper discretion
enjoy the freedom allowed by law. In this
case the Court is of tho opinion that the de
fendant is of such discretion, and is entitled
her free, full and entire liberty, subject only
to the restraint which is imposed upon infants
by the laws in relation to guardianship, and
wherever that legally belongs, which is not
now a question for this Court, it ought to be
exercised; but from her present confinement
she ie hereby discharged, to go where she
pleases, free from all coercion and restraint,
and is at liberty to exercise her discretion
whether she will return to the person, with
whom she is at present, her mother, her hus
band or any one else. With regard to the pro
position made by the counsel of the husband
that the defendant should be placed at school
the Court conceives, under its powers as t
Habeas Corpus Court, it has no such power.

alias Julian Adams, j
The petition for the Habeas Corpus alleges
a marriage between the defendant and one
Hezekiah R. Foote, and that she has been ta
ken from him, and from the custody of her
mother, her natural guardian, and placed in
the hands of Isaac N. Johnson, who detains
her contrary to her consent, and then prays
that the cause or her detention may be enquir

seems a marriage lias taken place between
said parties, but that the said Julian is only a

can he legally executed. By law auch mar

present day, for the removal of almost all the diJ
incident to the human body, notwithstanding C?
fee s of these deleterious agents arc evidently fi ll ,
multitudes. Deeply impressed with these fact* 5
with a view of reforming the science and prsctiV.7r
medicine, an individual in this city, in the veer ir«
procured a lot of ground, and erected a handsome
convenient edifice for an institution denominate,)
United States Infirmary, expressly for emTvmA ,'
formed system of Practice in the treatmentofdiL...
the remedial sources being chiefly derived from ,1)
productions of our own country. The course oft,..,
ment adopted by this institution, was principally u,
result of near forty yens experience of a diatin su U,S
medical reformer; which course, we are liappv
has been crowned with success, and proved to idem™!
stration, that, without Mercury, that boasted chanZ!
of the Materia Mcdica, or other poisonous drugs j°, n
eases generally, may bo cured bv those more safe alfii
salutary means which the God of Nature has so jibe
rally scattered around us. 1
Animated by the past success, and with the hope of
benefitting future generations, an irrepressible dciiie
has been felt, that measures commensurate with ii.
importance of the object, should be taken to promul
gate this valuable system of practice, and thereby j ra !
prove and reform the noble and important science t'
medicine.
After reflecting for years on the most prudent un d
successful method of effecting so desirable an object ii
lias been deemed expedient to establish a Media!
School, with competent teachers; where students miv
receive board and education, until they are fully quah-
fied to practice in the various branches ofthe Iletlinc
Art, upon the reformed system. We are now happy
to announce that a building for such an institution his
been erected, and opened for the reception of students
who can commence at any period. '
The building is large and commodious, situated ip
Eldridge-strect, between Grand and Broome-streelr
adjoining the present United States Infirmary. It j a j,|
a healthy and retired part of the city, and has been
completed at o great expense.
The following branches are taught by Lectures, Rc.
citations, Examinations, and suitable Text books:—
1. Anatomy.
2. Surgery.
3. Theory and Practice of Physic.
4. Midwifery, and Diseases of Women nnd Children
5. Materia Medica, and Practical Botany,
6. Chemistry and Pharmacy.
The benefits to be derived bv an attendance at this
Institution will, wo trust; be duly appreciated by thotc
who wish to acquire a correct knowledge ofthe Heal,
ing Art. Here tho student will be taught all the me.
dern practice which is deemed necessary, in sddiiku,
to the Botanical; and in consequence of his residing i-
the Institution, and pursuing a systematic course c!
studies, combining each of those departments, he may
acquire a knowledge of both in a short spore of time,
and at a very small expense, in comparison to Dial of
other Medica) Institutions.
There being an Infirmary connected with theAeade.
my, the students will have" the benefit of Clinical prac
tice, by which the experimental part of medicine «-j|l
bo acquired with the theory.
There will be no specified time to complete a coureo
of study, but whenever a student is qualified to pasa
an examination, he will receive a Diploma. Some a ill
require ono year, olticre two or more years, to com
plete their studies.
For tho information of some, we wish to state, tha*.
this system of Practice is essentially different from that
disseminated by Dr. Samuel Thompson.
