Opinion

The Court

(Thruston, J., absent,)

were of opinion that the declaration of the prisoner accompanying the overt act laid in the indictment may be given in evidence to show the intent with which the act was done; but that his confession of having given information of the channel, and of his having been on board the fleet, was not evidence.

The jury, after retiring a few minutes, found the prisoner not guilty.
