Description
Excerpt from A Selection of Leading Cases in the Criminal Law: With Notes
IN this edition three new leading cases have been added, namely, on the subjects of (1) Offences against Public Justice, (2) Carnal Knowledge of Children, (3) Previous Convictions. A'' large number of other cases. Have also been embodied, and the facts of the cases. Generally set out more fully than in the three pre ceding editions. More quotations are given from the decisions of Judges, especially in cases decided by the Court of Crown Cases Reserved. On every occasion when quoting from a judgment, the ipsissima cerba of the Judge have been used; and these judg ments, grave and lucid as they are, cannot be too carefully studied by those who wish to understand the deep-seated principles upon which the Criminal Law of England is founded; With certain branches of the law, such as Public Gaming, Adulteration of Food and Drugs, and Offences against the Licensing Laws, I have not attempted to deal, as I consider that these special matters scarcely come within the scope Of this book.
