PREFACE

TO THE SECOND EDITION.

A SHORT and general introduction to the Criminal Law in narrative form has been added to this Edition, as it was felt that a better explanation might be thus made of some difficult points than by questions and answers; the remainder of the book, however, retains its original form.

The Statutes passed and important cases decided bearing on the Criminal Law since the last Edition have been noted in the text, and references to authorities are to the latest editions.

I desire to express my thanks to H. S. HOLT, Esq., B.A., of Keble College, Oxford, for assistance kindly rendered in preparation of this Edition.

PREFACE

TO THE FIRST EDITION.

THE following pages have been compiled in the hope of supplying a want which exists amongst Students preparing for the Voluntary Honors Examination prior to admission as Solicitors—namely, a short guide to Criminal Law. The subject is a large one, and it is, therefore, impossible to provide in so small a space for every question that may be put; but it is hoped that this book will give a general knowledge of the subjects of which it treats. References to authorities are given to enable further information to be acquired where necessary.
