Opinion
Morsell, J., was of opinion that the instruction ought to be given. Cranch, C. J., had strong doubts; but agreed to give it, and leave the defendant to move for a new trial if the verdict should be against him. The Court, therefore (Thruston, J., absent,) gave the instruction as moved by Mr. Key. Verdict, not guilty.
