Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Review in Criminal Cases by the High Court and Circuit Court This treatise is published in the hope that it will prove useful as a book of reference in the preparation and discussion of Advocations, Suspensions, and Appeals in criminal causes. While its leading title and subject is review, nearly one half of the book (namely, the first part) is devoted to procedure in inferior Courts. The importance of this branch, whether regarded as ancillary to the second part or as a separate subject, became so apparent as the work advanced, that I resolved to treat it at greater length than was at first proposed. I have confined myself, however, to an examination of the leading general procedure statutes and regulations; as it was impossible, within a moderate compass, to deal with the details of the numerous penal statutes now in force. The text of the leading statutes and regulations will be found arranged under their respective heads in the body of the work; while the Appendix is chiefly devoted to forms of Bills of Advocation and Suspension, and Appeals, and to Interlocutors, and other procedure following upon them.
