Opinion

The CouRT

held that the property was well laid, and proved as laid. The confession of the prisoner bein£ given in evidence, the Court instructed the jury that they must believe or reject the whole.

Cranch, J., doubted.

In the same conversation, the prisoner offered the witness a watch, and a deed of his house, if he would suffer him to escape.

The Court instructed the jury that this offer of the watch and deed was a separate fact, not depending on the confession before alluded to, and therefore good evidence by itself.

Kilty, C. J., doubting.
