United States v. O'Neale

(nem. con.) at the prayer of Mr. Jones, instructed the jury, that if they should be satisfied by the evidence, that the traversers and others were combined to oppose the execution of the warrant, without knowing the nature of it, and actually assaulted one of the constable’s party before any assault had been made by any one of the constable’s party in attempting to execute the warrant, the traversers were guilty.

The jury found some of the traversers guilty, and others not guilty.
