Show I "Criminal Common Law."' Talking Talk-ing yesterday with a gentleman of long legal experience and unquestioned ability as a jurist, we inquired; "Judge, what about United States Criminal Common law?" He turned on us a look and such a look! and said sharp ly and incisively: "Any tyro in law knows there is no such thing in the United States as Criminal Common law!" You see he is only acquainted with the standard law authorities as they appear in tho books; and didn't see the majestic ponderosity of Judge McKean's "opinion." AYe turned away sorrowfully sad. Who wouldn't, under the circumstances? |
