A Digest of the Law of Evidence in Criminal Cases

Ν Ο Τ Ε.

This Second 'American Edition has been prepared from the Second London Edition with Mr. Granger's additions. These consist of the latest decisions and statutes, and are incorporated with the body of the work. Perhaps as the book is to be considered principally as a manual for the practising advocate, and its great merit its completeness as a compilation and arrangement of law, this course was to be preserred to distinguishing the new matter from the original text. The Second London Edition comprises about one hundred pages more than the First Edition, and there is of course a corresponding increase in the size of this volume. The American Notes have been carefully revised and brought up, and further references have been made to the edition of English Crown Cases published in this country.
