Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Selection of Leading Cases in the Criminal Law, Vol. 1 of 9: With Notes This is, I believe, the first collection of Loading Cases in the Criminal Law which has ever been published; but it is difficult to see why such a collection should not be as useful in that as in any other branch of the law. At all events, I do not doubt that the book will be found useful - possibly, even entertaining - to students and young practitioners, and it is to their attention principally that I commend it. I have to thank my learned friend, Mr. H. Warburton, of the South Eastern Circuit, for the kind assistance in the way of suggestion and advice which he has given me during the whole time of the preparation of the work for the press. The value of such a collection as this must largely depend on the selection of the right cases for "leadership," and it is here that Mr. Warburton's extensive and practical acquaintance with the Criminal Law has been of most service. My thanks are also due to my learned friends, Mr. C. M. Atkinson and Mr. H. T. Waddy, for occasional help.
