These voluntary confessions of breaches of the minor statutes in the criminal code are so generally considered by the people to be correct, that the Court are inclined to sanction them. It is true, that in breaches of the peace, in assault and battery for instance, the Court would hardly incline to screen an offender, who had committed per*16haps a violent battery, and by his own representation had induced the magistrate ' to impose a fine every way inadequate to the offence ; but no such injustice can happen through the voluntary confession of a breach of a penal law, where the penalty is ascertained, and the offender cannot lessen it by misrepresentation.
