Old Principle Obsolete.

The supreme court of Wisconsin mas
cast aside one of the old principles
of the law and yields its allegiance 10
new one, better fitted, in the opin'
ion of the court, to attain the ends
of Justice. The new principle is that
the right of arraignment and plea
will be waived by the defendant by
his silence when he ought to demand
it, in all cases-except capital cases
where it appears that he is fully In
formed as to the charge against him
and is not otherwise prejudiced in the
trial of the case by the omission OF
that formality.
The case is that of william Hook,
plaintiff in error against the state,
Hook had been convicted in circuit
court of selling liquor to minor.
In the original trial by singular
oversight the defendant was not for
mally arraigned and never entered
plea TO the information, This was
the principal assignment of error on
the appeal and in the opinion OF the
court, by Justice J. 3. Winslow, where
in the judgment &C the lower court is
sustained, is an interesting discussion
