Clinton. coun | sel for Carnel, proceeded to argue the following | points on the bill of exceptions:—1.—The court | erred in refusing to allow the prisoner to interpose a challenge to favor, after a challenge for prin- cipal cause had been overruled by the court. Error Book, (Bill of Exceptions,) fol. 25 to 23. The right of the pee to interpose a challenge for principal cause and to the favor, is recognised by all the authorities. The doctrine that it is too late to challenge to the favor, after a challenge for principal cause has been overruled, is not recognized by any of the au- thorities, English or American. The contrary ly held in Freeman vs. the Peo- ple, 4 Denio, pages 34 and 35. In that case, asin the present, after a challenge for principal cause bad been overruled, a challenge to the favor was in- terposed, and the Supreme Court held “ that there was error in the instructions to the triers, and for which the judgment should be reversed, new trial ordered.” See page 37. 1{.—The Court below erred in refusing to change the fol- lowing proposition:—* If all the facta proved in the case are consistent with any other theory than that of guilt of murder on the part of the accused, the re hee ‘ht not to convict of murder.” Error Book. ‘(Bill of Exceptions, )fol. 30 to 31. This is an ele- mene cme of evidence recognized and enforced by all the authorities. This proposition is pp cable to every case of alleged murder. I11.—Tho court below erred in refusing to charge the jury the following proposition of law, “If the jury be lieve from the testimony that no malice afore- thought existed on the part of the accused, and that he was not actually engaged in the commis- sion of a felony at the time of the commission of right te conviet the prisoner of murder.” Book.

In | order to sustain indictment for murder, under | the third subdivision, it is necessary to prove that the defendant, at the time of the homicide, was | engaged in the commission of a felony, which, itself, is sufficient evidence of malice aforethought. ‘The existence of malice aforethought, on the part of the party killing, is requisite in all cases, in order to constitute the crime of murder.

What could have been the priso- ner’s motives is another inquiry! The jury were not to judge of his motives by their own feelings, for they are not to know that the prisoner is on a condition with them, as to a moral standard of feel- ing. They were bound to ask themselves if he had any motive? it may be when he entered the room he had no intention of taking the life of the old man—it may be that when he struck the boys he did not intend to take the old man’s life—it may be that he didnot intend to strike the old gentleman until he found himself impeded in his escape—but it is enough that be formed the design upon the in- stant. , if the jury thought that there was no intention on the part of the prisoner to take life before, but that he merely had an intention to rob these trunks, and that while so intending, he did take life, that is murder.” It will be seon that the court did not cl the second proposition as requested by prisoner’s counsel, | itis not enough to oconsti- | or anything like it. tute the charge of muri tertained a desi, design to take r, that the prisoner en- to kill, or @ fe, unless malice aforethought co- design. ‘There are many cases of hter at common law, and under our sta- we an intent to kill exists.

The bill of exceptions presents thi point thus :—Charles Mason, a juror, being called was challenged for prinsipal cause. ‘The wth of ¢x ceptions dies not show what particular cause wa assigned as the griund for this challenge, excep ey, from what follows, viz. “and the challenge denied by the counsel for the eople,” and subsequently, in the reason assigned” by th Court for refusing to allow triers Assuming a caus for principal challenge to have boen stated, would have beon that the juror was not i ! in this:—“That he formed or expresse it the homicide in question, the jury have no legal Error | by our statute.
