ry" aud involuntary manslaughter. The shortest
mode of answering this Question is to refer him to
Blockstones Commentaries, and to say that the prn
clples of the Comm on Law there laid down, are
recognised by the Statute of Virginia. The differ
ence IN the punishment, is in case confinement in
the renentiary, aud in the other the felony may be
waived, and the prosecution for misdemeanor only,
punishable by fine and Imprisonment in other cases.
The difference between voluntary manslaughter''
and murder, is too well known, wo should think, to
require the distinction to be stated 1t depends upon
the malice prepense.
