On petition of Samuel Weirich. a writ of habeas cor pus was last Friday issued by Judge Hayes for barilla Miller Weirich, who was alleged to have been unlawfully restrained by her father, Jacob K. Miller, at Needy The matter wait adjusted by the father surrendering his daughter to her husband. The trouble arose over the marriage of Miss barilla Miller to Samuel Weirich severardays before. Mr. Miller was opposed to the match, and claimed the girl was not sufficient age to marry without the consent of her parents. While it is admitted that an action might lie against the party who falsely swore the young lady was 18 years old, in order to get a marriage li cense, it . was decided that the father had no right to use force in keep ing bis daughter from her new husband.
