Wherefor the petitioner prays that the writ of habeas corpus be issued, and that be be released and restared to his liberty, and
The application for the writ was considered and the case was fixed to come on for hearing last Tuesday,
interesting facts in connecting with this case. From the local paper we take the following:--
One of the most important cases which has
yet come up in these islands, is that of Thomas Teye Patterson, the self-imposed secretary of Sixto Lopez, and an Australian magistrate. Morgan Shuster, Collecter of Castoms, said in
Patterson contends that as a British subject he' cannot subscribe to the oath which the Civil Commission has prepared for those entering these islands who are suspected of having insurrectionary leanings or at least, of open- ly questioning the legal or other right of the United States sovereignty in the Philp pines. The point which Mr. Patterson makes in bis contention is that in the event of war between England and the United States, he, as a faithful subject of the King of England, might be called upon to aid, abetor incite resistance to the authority of the United States or of the government established by the United States in these islands. The petitioner holds that by subscrib- ing to the oath of allegiance in question, he would invalidate or auflify! his allegiance to his sovereign. Through his attorneys, Messrs Davis and Cohn, he therefore prays the Supreme Court to grant a writ of habeas corpus taking his person out of the control of W. Morgan Shuster, the Collector of Customs of these islands.
Mr. Patterson has just come from London, where he received the appointment as magistrate in one of the districts of Australia Queensland, it is believed. He admits that he has been acting as secretary for Sixto Lopez, sot, of course, as a salaried man, but simply from a high regard for the Filipino, whom he has known for some time, and whom he be- lieves to be actuated hy sincere motives and HARTMANN'S TAUTREDEN AND commendable principles.

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE
[Continued]
The following correspondence appears in the Timer to band by the last mail
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, I was somewhat startled to see that Mr. Thursfield in his letter in The Times of to-day quotes me as adversary of Vice Admiral FitzGerald, whereas I have always been of precisely the same opinion as he is with regard to mast and sail training for the seamen of to-day-viz., that it is obsolete and useless. **
Mr. Thurssfield quotes me, as saying "a system which lightly abandons the best school for the training of young officers,” and 25. "telling us that the training squadron was an excellent school for young officers, and that we have as yet found nothing as good to put in its place,"
.
Mr. Thursfield's memory must have deceived him, for I have no recollection of uttering these words. I ̧ have referred to the report of my speech at the discussion on Mr. Thursfield's HABEAS CORPUS PETITION
paper at the United Service Institution last says (inter alia). The petitioner berein re-. spectfully alleges that he is now, and was at al: year, and it seems to me to be as strong as possible against the retention of the old masted times hereinafter mentioned, a subject of the training squadron, as I meant it to be; all I King of England; that on the 24th day of sat in its favour was "I am bound to admit November, 1901, he arrived in Manila Bay as that the tmining squadron dees a good deal a passenger on the steamer Yunsang; that he of good to young officers, I have always said was examined by the duly authorized custom so, but it does not do any good to the men." house officers and was given a permit to land; Probably this is what Mr. Thursfield refers to, that be thereupon landed in the city of Manila but I never for a moment though; of retaining on the 24th day of November, 1901; that on the the squadron for this purpose, for the training following day, to wit: the 25th of November, | of the officers can be done in other ways, Mr. 1901, he was held and detained and deprived | Thursfeld, for an outsider, knows a good deat of his liberty by W.
