Decision in the Case of McLeod Not Discharged by Court
The New York Supreme Court at Utica refused to discharge Alexander McLeod without trial. Justice Cowen delivered the opinion holding the prisoner must be tried by jury on the indictment unless an appeal to the Court of Errors follows, with potential further review by the Supreme Court of the United States if necessary. The ruling centers on whether McLeod’s acts were a public act under orders from British officers.
