Acts of Parliament, which though local and on that account omitted in the first Edition, were from their extensive operation considered necessary to render this Publication complete.

These and other additions have enlarged the bulk of the Volume; but it is hoped that it will thereby be rendered more generally useful and more acceptable to the Magistracy and the Public..

The Author cannot omit this opportunity of ac+ knowledging his obligations to SAMUEL PURKIS, Esq. of Hampstead, a very active and intelligent Magistrate, for much kind assistance and many valuable suggestions during the progress of the Work.

The Magistrate's Manual.

ACCESSARY BEFORE THE FACT.

AN accessary is one guilty of felony, not as a principal, but by participation, command, advice, or concealment. In high treason there are no accessaries, all concerned are principals; so in petit larceny and misdemeanors there can be no accessaries either before or after the fact, but all parties implicated, if guilty, are principals.

An accessary before the fact is, as Hale defines, one who being absent at the time the crime is coinmitted, doth yet procure, counsel, or advise the commission of it, and his absence is necessary to constitute him an accessary before the fact. By Stat. 3 and 4 Wm. III. in Burglary benefit of clergy is taken away from accessaries before the fact.
