Of Accessory Offences
5
Accessory offences may be either 1. preliminary 2. contemporary, or 3. subsequent to the principal one
Now an accessory offence that is connected with a principal another
one another in the way of causality must either have happen'd
before it, or at the same time with it, or after
it. In the first case it is may be stiled preliminary
to it, in the 2d contemporary, in the third, subsequent.
6
Preliminary may be either 1. contributory or 2. evidentiary.
An offence that is preliminary to another
may have been connected with it in either of two
ways: 1. in the way of causation, by contributing
to the its happening, or what comes to the same
thing, to the happening of the obnoxious consequences,
in which the former it may be stiled introductory contributory with reference to the latter:
2. in the way of evidence, by contributing [according
to the relative period of time at which it is contemplated]
to the rendering it probable either that it
showing it either to be either to be
is about to happen, or that it has happened already.
In this case the prior offence may be
stiled termed evidentiary with respect to the latter.
7
Contemporary and subsequent can only be evidentiary.
As to offences that are contemporary or subsequent
it is manifest that they can be no
otherwise connected in the way of causality with
the principal one than by being evidentiary with
respect to it.
