Two approvers on one indictment not allowed. Parke J, refused to allow two persons to go before the grand jury as ‘approvers’ on one indictment, observing, that it was ‘ unusual to allow more than one.’ He asked if there was any precedent for two ; and, being answered in the negative, he refused to establish one. N.B. On the following day, it appearing that they were to give evidence on separate indictments, and for separate offences, though of the same nature and arising out of the same occasion, he granted the application.
