BALTIMORE, Mayor of the City of, how elected.
BANKRUPT. Under the act to establish an uniform system of
Bankruptcy in the United States, all deeds which are
made with a view to give a preference to a creditor
in exclusion of others or to delay or defraud them,
are void, and acts of Bankruptcy.

A denial to the sheriff is not an act of Bankruptcy, if
the debt upon which the writ was founded be not
due.

The adjudication of the Commissioners, that the party
is a bankrupt, may be supported by other acts, than
that upon which the commission is founded, provided
they were committed within six months before it was
issued.

See Insolvent.

BANK OF THE UNITED STATES. The President, &c. of this

institution, although citizens of Pennsylvania, cannot com-
municate their right of suing to a corporate body of which
they are exclusively members, so as to sue in the Circuit
Court of Georgia.

If a vessel be seized for a violation of a municipal law,
the manner of instituting proceedings against her

country whose laws she has infringed: and no foreign
court can inquire into the correctness of a condem-
nation passed in consequence of the seizure, unless
the court, by which the adjudication has been made,
lose its jurisdiction by some circumstance which the
law of nations can notice.

The court of the captor does not lose its jurisdiction in
consequence of the vessel being carried into a neu-
tral port, because she is there in such a place of
safety, that a sentence can be passed according to the
law of nations.

Where the facts stated in a foreign sentence do not,
in themselves, amount to a justifiable cause of con-
demnation, the cause is open to further evidence.
