Opinion

By the COURT.

However suspicious the testimony of Bowers may be, yet as he has sworn directly to the offence committed by Davison, we cannot discharge him. It is the province of a grand and petit jury alone to determine on his innocence or *guilt. Let the prisoner give bail, himself in $1000 and ri¡5 two sureties in $500 each, to answer the alledged fraud at ' the next Mayor’s Court to be held for the city of Philadelphia.
