The Law of Criminal Conspiracies and Agreements (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Law of Criminal Conspiracies and Agreements

These statutes were soon enforced, as their predecessors had been enforced, not merely by the summary proceed ings which they prescribed, but also by the more stringent means of indictments for combinations to infringe their provisions. Moreover, in the discussions which took place upon them, the question was raised and became the sub jcet of some doubt and difference of opinion, whether in any and in what cases combinations for purposes dealt with by the acts, or for other analogous purposes, are criminal at common law. The effect of the discussions and decisions is too doubtful to be stated here, but is attempted to be ascertained below.
