Dunlap v. Bartlett

Dunlap v. Bartlett
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided November 15, 1857
76 Mass. 282

Dunlap v. Bartlett

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

This party not being held for a capital offence, nor it appearing that he ever will be, it is a case for bail. The fact that there is danger that the act may result in a homicide is to be considered by the court in fixing the amount of bail. But not having, as yet appears, committed an offence which is not bailable, he is entitled to bail.

Prisoner admitted to bail.
