M. Love. Sir, I make no comparisons. Then Mr. Love reads out of Judge Cooks Institutes. The safest way for the party indicted, is to plead upon his arraignment the special matter for the overthrow of the Indictment: And this must be done before I plead, and to require counsel for the pleading thereof, which ought to be granted, and to require a copy of so much of the Indictment, which is necessary for framing his plea, which ought to be granted; and these laws ought to be construed favourably, for that the Indictment is commonly found in the absence of the party.
