| | William Blackstone: Of Arrests |
 | | That he may also issue a warrant to apprehend a person fulpected of felony, though the original suspicion be not in himself, but in the party that prays his warrant; because he is a competent judge of the probability offered to him of such suspicion. |
 | | And a warrant to apprehend all persons guilty of a crime therein specified, is no legal warrant: for the point, upon which its authority rests, is a fact to be decided on a subsequent trial; namely, whether the person apprehended thereupon be really guilty or not. |
 | | A warrant from the chief, or other, justice of the court of king's bench extends all over the kingdom: and is teste'd, or dated, England; not Oxfordshire, Berks, or other particular county. |
