The rescous of any person indicted of felony, is felony by the common law. Counsel should be allowed to a felon, if he has matter in law to plead ; but he ought to shew this matter before counsel shall be allowed. Sanctuary did riot lie for treason at common law; nor was any prescription for such sanctuary allowed.
