United States Digest Of Decisions In Criminal Cases

Excerpt from United States Digest of Decisions in Criminal Cases: Contained in the Reports of the Courts of the United States and the Several State Courts; To Which Is Appended a Table of the Cases Cited In preparing Digests, compilers have embraced in the same work both Civil and Criminal matter; and the result to the profession is, that a series Of general Digests must be examined in order to arrive at a knowledge of all the Decisions in the Criminal Cases which have occurred in this country. At the present time these decisions have become so numerous that it is quite as difficult and laborious to examine them in general Digests as in the Reports themselves; and, therefore, it has been deemed advantageous to the profess ion to collate them into one volume, .and so arrange the subject matter into titles and divisions, that a ready reference can be obtained to all the important cases, and the various points decided in them, without incurring the labor of searching through a number of Digests into which criminal matter has been placed without order or systematic arrangement. In cases where the same principle has been decided in different States, all the decisions have been grouped into one section, retaining only the title of the Case, the reference to the Report, and the number of the page - thus avoiding unnecessary repetition of the same matter. A Table has been carefully prepared and appended to this volume, in which all the important Cases can be readily found, and also the pages where they are cited under the several titles and divisions. N o pains have been spared to make this work as free from clerical errors as the multiplicity of references to volumes and pages of Reports would allow; and the Compiler, in offering this volume to the pro fession, indulges the hope that, should any such errors be discovered.
