WEBSTER FOR THE ALLEGED MURDER OF GEORGE PARKMAN. BY A MEMBER OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION. Prastare sostem dimitti, quam innocentem darnari.2-Juit. Civ. Ante mnia enirm, de corpore delicti constare, et inquiri debet.-Hus:ERaS. A single condemnation, without regard to law, whether in its forms or its princi- ples, is more dangerous to society, than the escape of a thousand malefactors; for such a condemnation, in over-earnestness to punish the guilty may become a precedent, which shall open the door to abuses, subversive of all legal protection to the innocent. BURKE. NEW-YORK: STRINGER & TOWNSEND, 222 BROADWAY. GEORGE F. NESBITT, PRINTER, Corer Wall and Water Streets. 1850.
