what kind Of an excuse,is this Because
! man has been guilty Of one crime, he
s.must nor be bound for another because
she has done one wrong, that therefore We
must not suspect him Of aaether ! 1hislia
a violation Of tha. Fundamental rule of the
law that no man is 70 proht by his own
wrong. Mr.. Bosrs contends that he has
already giyenb bail for one Crime 5 but how
inferior is that tothe one newbFoughtsa.
sgainst him Theihighest punishment
which can be inflicted against this misde.
meansr is 8 years imprisonmenta and q hnc
Of 5000 dollars, and even these are moi fixed
by the law but depend upon the discretisn
Of the ceort ods;jjury. Tbs criminal may
therefore be Condo mined to no more than inn.
prisonment for 8 months & q hne of 100 S,
Shall then recognizance for such an inferior
crime afford him protection against another,
where life itself is concerned9 Mr.. Bolts
stated that there was a difference betwecn this
and the former examination that in the lat
ter case, col. Burr was brought before youby
warrant but that he is not really ats
this time before the court But why was this
warrant issued on aNformer examination be-
cause col. Burr was not before the Judge ii
was necessary, but when that warrant was
discharged it was void lit was functus o6icio.
Gel. Burr was in custody until he gave bail.
1t was ilnnaeris. how the accused man come.
before the magistrate whether by warrants,
by voluntary delivery or by the comp:lsion of
Others. But when hcFis there, charged with
an offence, which involves beth liberty and
