CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL.

AVONDALE, NEW JERSEY, September, 1885. I have examined all the cases on CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE which the general editor of "Federal Decisions” has digested, instead of printing them in full under this title. I am quite satisfied that none of these rejected cases require to be printed in extenso, either under this title or any other. The complete abstract made of every case sufficiently answers the requirements of this work; and the best judgment has been every where exercised by the editor in the selection of cases to be published in full, and digested, respectively.
