T. M. v. University of Md. Medical System Corporation · ¶72

Chief Justice Marshall reaffirmed both principles for the Court just a few years later. See Rawle 227–228. Ex parte Bollman, 4 Cranch 75 (1807), involved two individuals— Bollman and Swartwout—who were implicated in the infamous Burr conspiracy. Both had been jailed by the circuit court for the District of Columbia pending their trial. Id., at 75–76. And, each sought a writ of habeas corpus from this Court. Id., at 75. The question, as in Marbury, was whether this Court had jurisdiction to issue the writs. This time the Court held that it had such jurisdiction.
