United States v. Cottingham

25 F. Cas. 673 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Northern New York | 1852

THE COURT

decided that the prisoner had no right to any of the peremptory challenges claimed, because such challenges were not allowed at common law in any other than capital cases. See note to U. S. v. Reed [Case No. 16,134.]

It also charged the jury that the purpose for- which the letter from which the money was taken was mailed, was not a question un-' der the act.
