Arguments During the Impeachment Trial of Governor William Sulzer

Excerpt from Arguments During the Impeachment Trial of Governor William Sulzer

But an impeachment before the lords by the commons of Great Britain, in Parliament, is a prosecution of the already known and established law, being a presentment to the most high and supreme court of criminal jurisdiction by the most solemn grand inquest of the whole kingdom.

It is, therefore, clear that the decisions relating to the finding of an indictment by a grand jury are of the utmost importance and should be deemed controlling whenever the validity of an impeach ment is to be determined.
