tha policy of legialation 1 hat ia a matter renting altogether with tha dineretion of another eo-oidinata branch of tha govomment Tbe judicial power cannot legitimately qumtioa tho policy ar rofuno to

eaaoa of thia kind wo should probably hare more wrk of tho kind than would he altogether consistent wi our other duties Wa ohould require in ouch coses proof nbuM of authority of a clear and decided

of tho Unifod States Constitution and of till Constitution of jnof of the States are altogether void and illegal and vitiation of tha firat principles of tha liberty of Englishmen dofbnded in Magna Ckarta But no such idea haa ever boon entertained No man ever ouppoard that ovary time a pqlieoinan onto ted a niibt-vulta -or a drunken brawler in Nosr-Ynrk or London In waa violating tha chartered rights of the ciliicn qubject in tha manner claimed here And it ia difficult for mo to pereoiva how any tha oriminal prosecutions before magistrates cu fairly vindicated if they coma within the general mow of this articlo of tho Bill of Righto A jury of ut men ia not tho jury indicated by tlia United Statdi PuAliiuliAM AU Was Uaa si Coastilulion or by Magna Charts any more than jury of three men or two And a jury of the coui-Iry in tho language of our Bill of Righto means a jury of traverse of twelve men no doubt And I do not believe it would be regarded aa constitutional for legislatures to pravido that in trials for high erimre punishable by iinpriaramcnt in atnto prison or otker personal disability the ollendcr should bs tried by jury of two or oix men even It Memo to me wo eould not gire thia Constitutional proviaion tho wide scope asked for it without in effect brooking down tho most efficient and eiHntial powers of our civil government And wo entertain not the least doubt that it waa nover in any country where the common low prevails intended to have nny auck scope And it seems to us that the relator has no occasion to fool that die times ara evil boyond all former

the same ground that any one may ar-he directed against general warrants end general search warrants in particular not specifically describing the persona plans or property to be Marched or arrested This call of warrants which in troublous and unsettled perioda to English history were io-auad to a very alarming extent by timir Secretaries of State end other magistrates perhaps waa prohibited at the fiiaal settlement of thn realiq upon the Princo of Orange and tha Hnnovor family I think if not earlier and similar proviaiona have been transferred to thn United States and to most of tha Stats Constitutions It is very obvioue thia proeeoding ia not of that character And it lias never been supposed to prohibit arrests by private persons or without warrant in that claaa of ponona whore delay would bo Neeeaaity ia tlm lint law of government aa well as of nature and to not to be abrogated by implication In order to determine how far thto proceeding ia in violation of the 10th article of tlm State Constitution it will tw nanfliHp onmno rathe two somewhat carefully perhaps The article is to these words "That in ell prosecutions for criminal offence a per-aon bath a right to be heard by himaelf and hia counsel to demand tha cause and the nature of his accusation to be confronted with the witnesses to eill for evidence in hie favor and a speedy public trial iy an impartial jury if the country without tho unanimous consent of which jury he eannot be found guilty nor can he be compelled to give evidence againat hinmelf nor can any person be justly deprived of hia liberty except by tha iasre oT tho land and the judgment at bin It is obvious to remark upon the slightest view of thia article that if tha prosecution under consideration to of the character indicated in this articlo tha proceedings eannot be maintained The proceeding indicated in the 93d aeetioo of the ttatuto under consideration possesses almost none of tho requisites indicated in the 10th artieje of our Constitution But wa think tlm procerdingajinder tills sLluto ara not lo ba regarded altogether a prosecution for criminal offimee perhaps not to any extent Tha prosecution referred to ih this article in tlm Constitution is obviously the final trial befura the traverse jury in open reourt and would seem to have reference altogether to thoM Courts wIiom proceedings ara according to the eoune of the eommon law and especially to offences properly so spanking in the words of tho unicla each as are made punishable by imprisonment or soma other personal disability or at all eventa by fine And it is queetionnble I think whether this articlo wm aver intended to have reference to that class of minor offimeea whieh from time immemorial- both in this country and in England have been made punishable by single magistrate without any of this appliances or spporatus whieh eem to be indicated in- this article But however that may be it seems to us that tho proceeding indicated in the statute andor consideration is not even one of those minor offence punishable by fine only Tho proeeoding againat the relator wm in tha first instance of criminal nature and- to soma extent in ho inception tgiiuat him inaomuefi it deprived him of hia liberty until he booame sober and that induced' ua to require notice to tho Slate's Attorney Beyond that it does not acorn to ba a proceeding againat him hot a sort of court of inquiry againat some unknown but suspected person guilty of another offence a-gainst this same Matuto in furnishing Um causs of thia poison's first olfence After the man bnoonma sober the statute dues not propoM to subjoet him to any restraint by way of punishment for any offimoo but only to secure his testimony against other persona suspected of some violation of the law and of aiding in hia first guilt Tho inquiry the arises whether thoM proviaiona of tho law is tha maim tkiy uq-irmiqul La ha 00-aumplUluid saw against soy fundamental lew of Urn State or tho United Stales Tho whols matter is very oonsidorihly affected in sur view if wo aettle in our minds that tha legislature era the sole judges how for drunken ness orthoM who aid in its perpetration ore punishiblo criminally I toko it that at this day it ia ocareely needful for thia oourt to spend words In vindicating thia acknowledged right of tho legislature IIow for the thing it ourable by any prooess of more legialativn restriction ia a matter with- which we have here no possible eon-eon Wa would be hopeful of nil lawn that they are in aoms sonM oapablo of answering their proposed end Amuming then that the legislature have the sight to punish drunkenMM and those- concerned in its perpetration or indirect production and commission it beeomM a quarticn of expediensy merely how for they will pnniah it or in what modo Wa should then to treat this matter fairly view thia aubjact in the atm light wa do any other aubjeot of oriminal legislation Lot us then for tha pnrpoM of placing thia matter ia a different point of view so aa if possible to porreive its true bearing suppose that in tha firat in ders him further punishable fur the drunkunneas But hs is required to give testimony in regard lo a transaction of which it may fairly bn presumed ha will ordinarily have knowledge and in which he has no concern and whieh ia on offence againat tha law of the land Thia is not very diflhrent from au inquiry before grand jury And there is no doubt tlie court might and would commit a witneM refining to give testimony before a grand jury unless ho had mom exeuM affecting himMlf I have known joint perpetrators of crime often compelled to givs testimony in regard to the transaction against a co-offender after having verdict in their own favor and no ana aver doubted ouch testimony wia legally imperative upon the witness If one eh noses to plesd guilty to sa offimoo there is no doubt ha may ba required to give evidonea against others eoanocted with him in tho perpetration of thn crime And it eon make no difference that tho offender is not publioly known or that tho legislature require this preliminary inquiry to bo mads bo fora a tingle magistrate It is tha same in law as if required to bo made and tba testimony given before this oourt or tha enunty oourt and a grand jury The law anp-poses that tho rights of the witness and tho accused will ho equally well protected end tho legislature eem lo bo of similar opinion to far the statute ia concerned Thia section of thia law ia not mare Mringent than are tha powers given to the probate oourt in relation to requiring persons complained of for ombemdement to-main- thia discovery and not very different from tha general powers of tlio county court in regard to amnptdling witnesses to give testimony before the court in the trials before tho travene jury or before the grand jury The only thing it seems to me which renders this provision of tho statute so anomalous in the eyes ol some and which exposes it to ao much criticism ia that it ia proviaion of peculiar character in soma shim although Mrictly analogous to other with which wa are most familiar and is not found in thia preeiao form in regard to My other offence snd secondly that this inquisition is entrusted altogether to tho discretion of si agio justice in- the i of and of tha (hs and not and of borftood wm startled by
