Woodman v. Prescott
19 A. 999 | N.H. | 1889
To constitute probable cause for a criminal prosecution, the prosecutor need not act from public motives. It is sufficient if he has such information and knowledge of such facts as would lead a man of ordinary caution and prudence to entertain an honest belief that the accused was guilty. The instructions requested were correct, and were approved in Eastman v. Keasor,
Exceptions sustained.
BINGHAM, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
