Field, C. J.

So far as appears, the confessions were voluntary, and the defendant was not induced to make them by any “fear of personal injury, or hope of personal benefit, of a temporal nature ” threatened or promised by any person who, as he supposed, had “ some power or authority to’ assure to him the promised good, or to cause or influence the threatened injury.” See Commonwealth v. Morey, 1 Gray, 461.

Exceptions overruled.
