To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If so, there can be only one verdict. ' A person who administers poison to another with the intention of killing him is guilty of murder if that person dies, and if two persons agree that they will each take poison, each person is a pr-incipal and each is guilty. A case has been cited by the learned counsel for the prisoner which is said to warrant the state- ment that a consideration for such an agreement must be proved, but I have no hesitation in saying that this is not the law of the land. ...The entering into the agreement to kill themselves was illegal. It is contrary to the law of the land to commit suicide, and if two persons meet together and agree so to do, and one of them dies, it is murder in the other. ' (Field, J. , in E. V. Jessop. ) If you think there was such an agreement it is your duty to find a verdict of wilful murder. " It will be noticed that the facts in each of the above five cases are somewhat different. The various dates — viz. , 1823, 1838, 1887, 1897, and 1903 — cover a long period of time, and show that the law on this point is in no way altered.
