How later courts described this case

allowing successive prosecutions would be "against natural justice, and therefore I cannot believe it to be law"

Written by the judges who cited it.

The opinion

I do not remember the case cited by Mr. AVERY. If there was such a case, it was so adjudged on account of some peculiar circumstances now forgotten; but at present I concur in omnibus with ASHE, J.

So there was judgment for the prisoner, and he was discharged.
