Opinion of the Court
Washington, Justice,

Washington, Justice,

delivered the charge of the court at large, upon the points of law; but cautiously abstained from giving any opinion upon the facts. He considered the repealing act as an absolute bar to the prosecution; and told the jury, expressly, that the defendant was, on that ground alone, independent of any question upon the merits, entitled to an acquittal.

On this charge, the jury immediately found a verdict of not guilty.
