Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Draft Code of Criminal Law and Procedure In preparing a draft of what I conceive would be a fair code OF criminal law and procedure, I have been influenced by a desire to produce a practical measure, instead of adding merely one other theory as to what should be done in that direction. I am only too conscious that in a work of this character imperfections must exist; but I cherish the hope that this effort towards a practical solution may at least invite criticism, and perhaps aid in expediting a much-desired measure of Law Reform. The project is necessarily divided into two distinct branches the one embraces a Code of Criminal Law; the other, a Code of Procedure in the administration of the Criminal Law.
