With what clamour might those, who enter tain such opinions exclaim against the con stant practice of admitting one offender to give evidence against another, not unfre quently less guilty than himself, and allowing him to escape from the consequences of an offence against society; by an act of treachery towards his comrade - If there be any truth in notions of this kind, it will become us at once to shut up our statute-book, and throw the records of our courts of crimi nal law into the flames, as a collection of sentences founded in cruelty and injustice.
