Opinion

Cranch, C. J.,

said, that the question has often been made in this Court; and the Court had always decided, that the whole confession must be given in evidence to the jury; but that they had a right to judge for themselves of the truth of it, or of any part of it. (See Starkie, part 4, p. 48.)

Verdict, not guilty.
